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?

SWIM FASTER FASTER.

OK, I want to do it:
I am thinking on making a succesfull participation on the World Master Championship 2006 at SF, since I am going to take my family and some friends to go along. This is a two days trip driving from Mexico City.
I am 38 years old now but I will be competing at the 40-45 year group by then as I turn 40 on mid June.
I have been a master swimmer since 13 years ago, and I never practiced swimming before that.
I am thinking to enter the next events and I am including my actual times:
50 meters free (29 high)
100 meters free (1:06 low)
200 meters free (2:28)
50 meters Backstroke (36 high)
100 meters Backstroke (1:20)
50 meters Fly (31 high)
I have only an hour available to train from Tuesday to Friday, plus all morning on Saturdays and Sundays most of the times (though I just take two hours right now at those days).
I would love to drop my times by around four seconds for the 100 meters (1:02 or better) and so on for the rest of the events.
I am going to participate on the Mexican Nationals LCM in August where I am specting to see my first improvements.
What would it be your advice?... thanks in advance.
