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

  • hello just noticed this I don't check this page much first get under 27 read Swim Faster Faster just about everything I know about improving in swimming can be found there do drills, speed work, and get strong I think the most important exercise is lat press it exercises the same muscles that you need for the power phase of your stroke ande hey ande, I'm primarily a freestyle swimmer, and I want to get a lot faster in the 50 freestyle. Last year, I was able to go at the fastest time, 27.4 sec. I want to try to get my time under 24.3, which is the WPIAL time. Is this possible? I'm 5'11 155 lbs I do lift weights, but also what exercises should I focus on to get a lot faster in sprints, and what type of sets? Thank you so much for helping, because I really want to get faster.
