I am a relatively new swimmer and have a lot to learn. My question is, how much I should spend on drills and technique works vs. inteval. Currently I swim 3x/wk - 2 of which are on my own for an hour (mainly drills) and 1 is with a tri/swim club for 1.5hour or so which includes lots of interval. My fastest 100yd is 1:17. I can keep up with 10x100 at 1:45 and maybe able to do 1:40 (never tried). I have a two short term goals; one - I would like to break 1:15/100yd. Two - become a better open water swimmer (~2miles).
Thanks for your advice. Swimming has been very enjoyable and helpful as a recovery tool from running!

Thanks for your reply! Now I have a better idea to structure my own workout.
I did 1:17/100yd at a recent meet, a day after my 18-mile run. I would like to think I can break 1:15 with a good rest. I don't enjoy swimming a long distance (straight) in a pool. I can't wait to resume swimming in a lake!!
