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

    All I need for a breakthough is probably a team to swim with. I need that day in, day out competition you have with other folks during practice to push you that extra 10%. I currently train myself alone. There is a team at one of the pools I can swim at but I don't care for the coach and its too $$$ for me at this time. I feel I'm doing pretty good on my own, but I KNOW I could be alot better/faster with a team.
