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

    I am. I have been training for approximately 2 months (weights and swimming). My goal for now is to get down to the 45-46 area in the 100 yard free. After training for only a month (not that seriously) I went a 51.5 in my 100. I am hoping to get it down to about a 49 low to a mid 48 before I taper. I feel much stronger than I ever did when I used to compete but don't have the endurance that I once did. I am sure that will come in time. Just rambling.
