Okay, so there's about 5 months until next swim season starts, and I really want to drop my times right at the start.
My goals are:
- Go from a 2:24 in the 200IM to 2:10-2:15
- Go from a :29 in the 50 fly to :25/:26
- From 1:16 in the 100 *** to 1:12
I don't have much access to a pool, and the only pool I can get to is the 20yd community center pool. But I can get to a weight room every day, and do dry-lands at my house.
If anyone can help me out, with workouts or anything that can help me drop some time and improve my form, that would be wonderful. And thanks for taking the time to read all of this.
...I already know that a 20yd pool won't help me much for timing purposes as I compete and practice in a 25yd pool during the season.
Practicing in a 20-yard pool may not be as bad as you suspect.

You are getting some good advise here. Work on your technique. Unless you are already near-perfect, it's a good way to get faster, especially if training time is limited.
