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 agree with gigi, I still have to force myself sometimes and not "rest" during drill sets but really focus on what I am doing. I do drills daily and believe the "perfect stroke" does not exist. I will be willing to bet that we all have something we should really change in order to make us more efficent. If you practice the "correct" stroke then that is the way you will swim. I don't think that swimming with a snorkle is really considered a drill, but it is my favorite way to lengthen my stroke along with bilateral breathing sets.
