One topic of great interest to us all is
"What do you need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"
"What do you need to do to significantly improve your swimming times over one season?"
Do you have any specific, nitty gritty type suggestions.
I think it's really easy to fall into ruts, to just show up and go through the motions rather than seizing the moment while we train.
Any one have any thoughts on what we need to do to significantly improve?

pool temp definitely effects your performance
especially in longer swims
i prefer pool temp a little on the cool side
my masters group often trains in the diving well which is kept a little warmer for the sake of the divers
when the main set arrives i tend to take off my cap
if we're swimming long and hard
ande

The water temperature works the opposite for me. If it's warmer I don't swim as well. The pool I swim at is kept at about 82F - but one time the heat didn't work and it dropped to about 75F. Other than the initial shock, it was great. I felt like I could swim forever! Stronger, faster too.
