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?

Hey Ande,
Recently, I had 2 sets of 10x50 SCY on 2:00 where I was coming in at 34 seconds in free and on the second set (which was breaststroke) I was coming in at 35 to 36. When I first started with the age group team a few months back, I was at 40 to 45 seconds for free. I would start off around 40 to 42 seconds and by the end of the set I was at 45 seconds. I still have a long way to go but the improvement is exciting so I figured I would tell you. I am really looking forward to getting to beinf in good enough shape to compete.
One more thing, at the end of practice in the 50 LCM pool we did an all out 50 from a push and I went 25 seconds with fins. Going that fast felt really cool. Having water flowing along you at that speesd really lets you see how important streamlining is. Now, I WANT to go that fast without fins, that is my new goal. It is freaky how much fun I am having at a practice. I love it, even the under water work.
