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?

yap, I would. I had my "final" meet yesterday and I was pretty disappointed with it. Two weeks ago I swam the 50br in 35.72 as a part of a relay. Unfortunatley that doesn't count for the ranking as a breaststroker. So I wanted to swim a 35 in this meet, but I only made a 36.80.
But I'll see the positiv things. It was about 0.02 faster than the actual time I'm listed with in the ranking. I felt less pain and burning in my arms during and after the race. Seems like my lactat tolerance training the last two weeks worked despite what my coach thinks about it :D
I'm currently planning my training for this summer. In about 3 weeks I'll have time to concentrate more on my training and in August I'll have 6 weeks off so I can train as hard as I want (And I want to train as hard as possible).
By the end of the year I hopefully go the 50br in 34.
