Alright, we've established that dictatorial behavior can be appealing when you're doing the dictating. Now, you get to select your favourite swimming drill for any stroke and proclaim it as officially the best drill ever. Please supply info as to: what does this drill accomplish & for what stroke(s)? what is the proper technique in performing this drill (diagrams &/or video optional); why is this drill so much better than others? Equipment needed or not? Sample set using this drill; why is it the best?
Or-
Drills are a waste of time & why.

A drill I named Core kicking is the most important for learning free style. It's like yoga swimming. It forces the swimmer to learn good behaviours orelse he/she will sink.
As a dictator, I enjoy reading my newspaper during the sets and still know that my swimmer citizens are learning hard. This is exactly what this drill allow me to do.
It helps improving :
- The kick
- The body motion
- The balance
- The bilateral breathing
- The timing
All that in one single drill :

Its execution is very simple. That's freestyle without the arms. Period.
Then it can progress to one-arm drill (bilateral breathing please) :

And then it can progress from Core Kicking to One-Arm to full stroke.
Typical sets would be :
400 core kicking
400 one arm
400 the other arm
400 swim
(Sometimes newspapers are long to read you know !)
