Do you (need to) do drills at all?

I personally never do drills that focus on a part of a full stroke, such as kicking alone, or one-hand stroke, etc. etc. If I want to correct/improve a certain aspect of the stroke, I do so in full stroke. How many out there share my opinion that separate drills are unnecessary, or even not helpful?

  • I'm definitely a big fan of drills. With swimming, for me, it is all about feeling, and drills make it easier to feel the sensation I should be aiming for in my full stroke. Too, they often magnify aspects of the stroke and thus make certain points more apparent than they might be in the full stroke.
