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?

are you making any technique mistakes you could improve? Probably...haven't had any real coaching ever (just watch videos to pick up technique, but have little idea what I look like). Our team doesn't have a coach--we've been trying to find someone...no luck so far
The one thing that will help you the most is to get some coaching, if your team can't find a coach either swim (even part time) with a team that has a good coach or get some individual coaching. Breaststroke is highly technique based, a coach can evaluate your stroke and tell you what to work on and how. As a start, get someone to video your stroke and post it on youtube with a link here to get some advice.
