In my regular training session I do 50% drills and 50% straight swimming(of different distances).Is this a good balance or should I be doing more drills??:cool:
Mark,
Well it all depends on the current state of your strokes and your swimming goals. If your stroke is not technically sound and your goals are not of a competitive nature, then yes you should first focus on drills and the technical aspects of the strokes.
If you have competent strokes you are looking at competing or just having a better aerobic workout, then you should increase the swimming and decrease the drills. Please note that even while swimming (vs. drilling) you should still be concentrating on technique.
