I've haven't been swimming competively for about 2 years, but now I am getting back into it, I am in better shape now than when I was 12, I play football and baseball. Swimming season starts in the end of october, what are some drills I can do to get faster? I can't get to the pool very often becayse I have school from 7:50am to 2:37pm and football from 3:45-7:00pm, and football on saturdays 8:00am-9:00am, so they only day I can swim is sunday, so I need some out of water drills, any help is greatly apreaciated, Thanks

Stretch your way to success - I have always thought about swimming in terms of My Swimming Triangle, where one side is Technique, one side Stamina and the other Flexibilty.
In your case you should have a good basis of technique since you use to swim, but it is hard for you to further imporove this due to lack of pool time.
I imagine you are fairly fit due to the sports you do, so Stamina shouldnt be a problem.
But Flexibilty is something you can probably improve on if you have been out of the pool for a time - and something you can do out of water
