During my Friday night masters workouts, once a month the coach times us on our 1000 meter freestyle set of the workout.
As my goal for the summer, I'd like to try to improve my PR from 20:44 to 19:59.
I think this goal is achievable, but I don't know where to start. Drills? Out of water exercises? Just swim more?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

For 1000 meters, if you're going 2 minutes per 100 there is probably quite a bit of low-hanging fruit in terms of stroke technique. Can your coach work with you on this? You could also post a you tube video here and get comments.For more help, we'll need more specifics: how much are you swimming now, what's your swimming background, how old are you, etc. The good news: fix your technique issues and sub-20:00 is imminently doable.
