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?

Did this experiment
Dec 07, 225#, 50 Fly 36.00scm, converts to about 32.43scy, about .25 off my then best
May 08, 245#, 50Fly 31.42scy, a personal best!!!:applaud:
Well, I can cast a little doubt on the accuracy of this 'experiment'. I am finding that conversions from SCM to SCY for my Masters swimming is a little suspect. It seems that that extra 7.5 feet per length of meters does not lend itself to a linear translation from yards. Especially in fly. I'm finding that there is about a full second real difference between my real SCY time (26.03) and my converted from SCM time (30.21 converted to a 27.22 SCY) proving that that extra 15 feet can make a huge difference.
