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've been swimming more 400IM drills and swimming at least one 400IM in each practice. I also began some cross training with core strength and spinning workouts.
I also have been working much more on my kicking. That has never been something I focused on. Practiced with a highly accomplished D1 swimmer over the Christmas break and he mentioned the value of strengthening my kick workouts especially for something like the 400IM. The Montana State SCY meet is a month away. My goal is to swim 4:45 or faster. Fly 1:07, back 1:15, *** 1:20, free 1:03. I'll keep you posted.
