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?

Personally, I have always been a follower of the "Just Do It" school of swimming, but swimming form was always easy for me, I imagine drills are more valuable for those that are having trouble or started later in life.
Despite this, I still like drills in workouts because they make longer sets less boring and easier to count where you are in the set.
ie:
3x150 descending where each 150 is
1x50 swim stroke (non-free)
1x50 drill
1x50 swim free
is a lot less boring than:
3x150 swim free
etc etc
