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?

I am 50 years old. I swam competitive earlier in life up to age 18. I now swim and compete in Masters. For the first time, I want to train and compete in the 400 IM. I would love some training advice specifically for this event. Any thoughts?
