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?

I'm 16 a junior in highschool and just decided to start swimming this year with my school team. my stroke skill in order from best to worst would be like free, fly, ***, back I'm told i have a natural talent for swimming and have the body for it, I'm like 5'11 with real long arms. i'd loveee to keep improving my times but right now they've been pretty much staying the same.
I don't really know whats wrong with my stroke, other than i dont really understand how my kick should be going its just kind of all over the place i know it needs work.
also im not exactly sure I'm pulling correctly, how can i be sure?
my coach says my finishes and starts need work but that should just come with practice.
I'm in love with this sport and will definatley be swimming year round.
