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 still waiting for someone to support this idea that drills aren't beneficial with some hard evidence. You'd think the fastest swimmers in the world would be doing what's fastest. Show me some World Record holders who don't use drills in their swimming to isolate various aspects of their strokes, and I'll be willing to consider the idea that swimming only full-stroke is a superior way to train. I don't think you can do it...
