What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"

ande
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? forums.usms.org/showthread.php

  • there are plenty of great teams in phoenix. good luck improving ande Originally posted by 69gscal I need to join a team and get into a regular schedule! I swam on a Master's team last year for a total of two months and saw amazing improvements. I went from not being able to swim more than 1,000 Yards/ hour to swimming 3,000. My 100 meter free went from over 1:30 to 1:07. And my most prized claim, a 10.8 second 25 yard freestyle from a dive off of the deck (no platform). Back then I had no idea what a split was and my turns were disgusting. Anything over 50 y/m was always very disappointing for me. This was the first organized swimming I had ever participated in; no high school or college teams. At 25 years old I think I could still be a great swimmer. But I think I need to find myself a team first and foremost.
