I have been wondering how much time everyone devotes to drills or swimming? I just read an article that says Swim 90% drill 10%.

  • George, I tend to swim a lot of warmup and warmdown as drill. For warmup, I do a lot of freestyle fingertip drag and Popov Drill freestyle. I will usually fit in a Drill IM in there, amount depending on what the warmup is. I swam 3500 combination yards/meters at a meet this weekend, and I'd say I swam at least 2k of it some sort of drill. A normal practice would probably be closer to 1-1.3k (of ~4500y)
