What do YOU need to do to have a major swimming breakthrough?"

ande
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? forums.usms.org/showthread.php

  • you're welcome good luck hope you have excellent results ande Thanks for the tips Lindsay and Ande! I am looking at getting some technique instruction and will also post a video of me doing a few 25s or a 50 of breaststroke. I realized today that I was getting my arms stuck under myself, so I'll work on that. I am also pretty certain that when I kick I am allowing my hips to splay too much. I'm defnitely going to start with the weights and maybe pilates--my core is strong but you can always be stronger! Thanks again--I'll post the video when I have it and will update you on my progress. I KNOW I can do this! Ellen
