I am trying to get faster at ALL of my events, which are Freestyle, Fly, Breaststroke, and occaisonally Backstroke, how can I get faster in 2 months? and I hate running, but i will run if I have to get faster.

A 2:06.91 200IM when you were 12 would have put you in the top 5 in the nation for USA Swimming. So yes, I would call that good.
Either:
1) you were injured the last two years
2) burnt out
3) had a coach/parent totally oblivious to your potential
4) In error (FOS) with your time/event provided
5) you already knew this was fast and just needed someone to stroke your ego (congratulations)
So which is it? and why haven't you competed the last 2 years?
For drills, you should go to the bookstore/liabrary/amazon.com and look for one with pictorials of recommended drills i.e. Swimming Drills for Every Stroke by Ruben J. Guzman
