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 27. My fastest time in the 100 FR was a 47.09 SCY. I believe I was 18 when I did this time. At the time I weighed around 165 lbs. I also feel I was being over-trained. I now weigh 221 lbs (recently lost 35 lbs.) and would like to get down to 210 - 215 lbs. My practices now consist of no more than 4000 yards. MWF Are my harder days T TH Are weights and between 1600 to 2800 yards in the pool Saturday is active recovery
