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

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 could be lots of reasons not warming up enough sometimes in practices you get on a roll and feel great could be poor splitting choices could be fatigue from previous races could be being effected by pressure and nervousness ande Why is it my technique falls to pieces out of practice? I've never had a race that ever felt great like some sets in practice have. I've begun to think it's my dive because it's such a change from the wall start you get used to in practice.
