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.
