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?

let it go already
long distance cold water swimming is the only type of swimming where having extra fat is a good thing, it provides insulation
(ie crossing the english channel, swimming from catalina)
please do this:
test yourself in a 50 free right now
then gain 20 pounds of blubber then retest yourself
then report your results
or this

even though a heavier you floats more
you still have to drag your body through the water
skinnier people slice through the water better
look at Dara Torres
she's lean and strong, she swam lifetime best times at age 41
when one if floating higher, more of their body is above the water line. No need to pull that through the water anymore. Maybe that offsets the weight gain.
