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?

congrats on your goal and posting here
looks like you're well on your way
if you want to swim the channel
it's good to have some insulation
Lynne (who I train with sometimes) swam the channel and catalina
she did a lot of cold water swimming to prepare
here's her blog
you might find some useful info there
Your times, body shape and swimming distances are such that there is nothing much more you can do about completing the Channel Swim. The only obstacles are the strange specifics of the geography. The waves in the Channel are enormous. The more time you can spend in open water, generally and in the waves specifically, the better you can cope with whatever Mother Nature throws up on the day.
The Channel is tough!
