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 want to have a breakthrough. I have a swim meet the first of March and after that I will put in a solid 2-3 months of base and hope to have a great summer meet in Missouri at the Show-Me-State games. My goals are a 24s 50yd free, 55s 100yd free, 2:05 200yd free, 5:40 500yd free, 1:08 100 back, and a 1:07 100 fly. I need to do the following things for that to happen:
1)Swim faster repeats during practice
2)Swim more doubles
3)Eat healthier and drink less around race time
4)Get technique help from coach
5)Treat my goal like the Olympic Games
6)Stretch more
