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

Currently 90% Drilling, 10% swimming (mostly backstroke.) I expect to swim more when I learn how to do so more correctly.
About.com has an interesting article entitled "Improving a Swimmer's 100 Freestyle--Swimming Lessons Learned from World Record and Olympic Swimmer Alexandre Popov" swimming.about.com/.../popov_swim_fast.htm which states he does most of his swimming relatively slowly and with a lot of attention to technique.
Could this kind of swimming be considered a cross between drilling and swimming?
