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

    i was kind of kidding about the lose / gain challenge Look at the bodies of the fastest swimmers on the planet. In almost all cases they are lean and powerful otherwise FAT swimmers would be the fastest swimmers and they aren't. Swimmers have to balance strength with their ability to slice through the water ande Never seen a skinny looking blue whale. But, BTW, I thought the test: Swim 50 Lose 10 lbs Swim 50 etc Was one of the funniest things I ever saw on this site. You can't be a true American ande, because you "get" irony!
