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?

My next area of improvement will be underwater kicks. Even though I don't believe that I will ever be faster doing 4-5 kicks off the wall compared to one and then swimming, I do believe it will help me off the start and for that 1-2 kicks off the wall.
I need even stronger abs for that
I need to be able to use fins on a more regular basis
I need to start building to the Eddie Reese set (8x100 Fly kicks on your back) - but not go overboard - looking for 1-5 explosive kicks not 100s
This one will be the toughest -- 2-3 dolphin kicks off every single wall.
My main problem is momentum - I am not sure when to start the kick and how to transition into swimming quickly.
