Incorporating Drills ... ideas?

Does anyone have some ideas of how to incorporate more drills into workouts without sacrificing too much productivity or yardage. I'm looking for specfic drills and sets. Also a percentage of time that should be spent on drills. I know that changes through out the season but throw some numbers at me. THANKS!

    I usually try to do a drill set during or right after warm-up. That way, I get the correct feeling of the strokes so I can swim them better the rest of practice. One drill I like is one-arm swimming, usually done as a 100 kick, right, left, swim by 25's. I also do "drills" that are basically regular swimming with a focus on a certain aspect of the stroke, like reaching forward in freestyle or finishing the kick and gliding in breaststroke.
