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 understand what you meant, but you should try and drop that down to 1:15. 1:20 seems a bit slow if you are going :53 in meets - really you should be able to hold between 1:05 and 1:10, especially if you are a distance swimmer. Maybe, I'm off on that, but I'm basing this off of my times, and base 100 time and that of my teammates.
I think you could definately be swimming 100's faster in practice. I can swim around that fast if not a bit faster than that in practice and I'm still not under 5 minutes.
