Drills

Hi all! I've just started taking up swimming. (for about 2 months now) I try to swim 3 times a week and have been purely doing freestyle and increasing my distance each time. I finally reached my goal of 1 mile and was wondering what would be the best way to improve my 1 mile time. I completed the mile in 39min50sec so roughly a 2min30 / 100m. What training would you advice to improve this time? I have never tried drills, is this worth trying? or just keep swimming a mile each time, trying to go faster each time? Any help would be great! My future goal (a long way off) would be to do a 30 min mile! Cheers, Joey
