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 was at a clinic where Dennis Baker said that one arm fly is fine as a drill,but that if you are losing form on your fly in workout you should switch to fast free instead.He said it was too easy to slack off in one arm fly,fly is a very aerobic intensive stroke, and that keeping your energy expenditure up was the important thing.
