What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"

ande
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

  • hey MAC ABSOLUTELY YES follow my suggestions in this thread www.usms.org/.../showthread.php Ande, My kick is weak. I can tell because I can stay with the fastest swimmers when I pull regardless of distance. Any suggestions? Also, I see the ex-college swimmers have insane kicking ability and that they never use kick boards. They are always on their backs in a streamline or face down streamline flutter kick. Should I focus on fast kicking (on intervals) or hard kicking or more fin work? Thanks for any help!
