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

hi wisey, congratulations on your improvements without seeing you or you swim I have no way of guessing how much more you can improve within a particular time frame and even if I did it's just one opinion and the only opinion that really matters is yours so I don't know if your goals are realistic or not they way you're still improving, they are probably very doable you should be able to go much faster in the 100 free train as often as you can do a lot of sprinting and race rehearsals lift weights, work on each aspect of the 50 and 100 who's to say if you can win state what does it take now? for now work on getting under 26 I know if you don't train it won't happen READ my swim faster faster tips forums.usms.org/showthread.php Ande Here some of my statistics 16 years old 6 feet tall 175 pounds (I can fluxuate it easily from 165 - 185 depending whats going on in my life) I swam a summer season that lasted about 6 weeks long and I took my my 50 free time from a 35 second in yards to a 27 high, in yards in just 6 weeks. Now my HS 5 month long season has begun. My PB is 26.85 in the 50 free and my 100 PB is 1:03.16 My goals are a 58.0 - 100 Free 24.9 - 50 Free I have 2-3 meets a week. and 3-5 practices a week. So 6 or so swims a week. practices are like... 3,500 - 4,500 yards long. are my goals realistic? and I want to be a State winner when im 18. is that possible? Im really athletic and dedicated and I want to know what I can do outside of regular swimming with my team to get better. and my dive needs work!! funny story-yesterday at a club meet I feel in the pool after false starting slighltly and trying to stop myself. hahahha. any who. Sweet forum ande!
