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?

Just wanted to share another discovery with you, guys...I just lowered my 50 m. breaststroke by 2 more seconds and was curious what I did that gave me that edge.I have been trying very much to streamline and "ride the glide" after every kick, but the main change I noticed is that my hips and my entire body are a lot higher now while I glide(actually at times I feel my butt slightly breaking the surface).I also feel like my feet are grabbing water better, I doubt that the kick got stronger, it seems that before I was kicking too deep, but now my feet are closer to the surface, too, than they used to be.
I would like knowledgeable breasstrokers out there to comment on that one and let me know if that makes sense...
