Drills make me sink

Since our other coach was back with us today, there were more drills (inlcuding some "almost drowning" drills), and much shorter sets. It's probably a good thing to go back to some form work every once in a while, but if it's only every 5th or 6th session, will we really improve in any of the drills, and have it transfer to the strokes? I could definitely handle having a portion of each day dedicated to drill work, but that's not in the cards right now. I'm not sure if I did the stroke count correctly. It was a big departure from my usual stroke, for the sake of minimization. I don't know if this was the intent.

Swim: w/u - 2x50m each free, kick, drill (three-kick switch), pull, 15"
3x(100 free, 20"
2x50 drill, 20"
100 free, 20"
2x50 stroke count, 20")
Drills were: 1) three-touch, 2) 25 head-up/25 free, 3) finger drag
25 ez/25 hard
50 ez/50 hard
75 ez/75 hard, 30"
c/d - 100 non-free/100 free
75 non-free/75 free
50 non-free/50 free
25 non-free/25 free
Total: 2400m
