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

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

    A major breakthrough... I am presently working with Julio a Mexican handicaped swimmer. He attended tryouts for the Pan American 2011 games team rooster and was told there was no room for him. One of the team coaches asked him to swim a 100, he got up on the blocks and did a 100 m swim in 1 min 26 seconds. They changed their minds and put him on to workout with the team. I think this is a major breakthrough for him. Knelson they liked his dive we worked so hard on to perfect. this is still a great question what do I need to do to make a major breakthrough?
