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?

hi jonathan
work on your free technique, SDK, and speed
starts and turns too
lift weights and get strong
sprint and get fast
get timed on 25's and 50's
learn how to correctly split your 50's and 100's
You've got a great frame
not many swimmers are 6' 5"
if you want to go 23.5
you need to split it
11.6 11.9
11.5 12.0
11.4 12.1
11.3 12.2
11.2 12.3
11.1 12.2
so train to
get out in 10.9 from your start to your feet
come home in 11.9 from your feet to your hand
read and use the ideas in
swim faster faster
