I have always thought that the benefit of sculling was to get a "feel" for the water. Everything is slowed way down with a concentration on actually moving through the water efficiently, if that makes sense.
There are "a ton" of different drills, depends on the stroke.
My husband, an exercise physiology GEEK, says I should go into a discertation about Bernoulli's Principle of lift and how that relates to forward propulsion in a horizontal plane and how the drill helps you determine the aquatic compliment of stall angles (in an aircraft) to figure out which angle will generate the most speed. Did I mention in addition to being a GEEK he was a pilot in the Navy?
I, personally, have no idea what I just typed... I much prefer my answer ;) Pretend it's the 60's and if it feels good, do it! :p
