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?

There are a range of body compositions that are advantagous for swimming. Many swimmers are in that range. For many, losing weight may be detrimental for a variety of reasons, one being that body fat helps people float. I just think that making a blanket statement that losing weight will help you swim faster is not acurate. If you are 100 lbs over weight, sure. But maybe not if you are at 12% body fat and you drop down to 8%
