Swimming for triathletes

I often wonder whether triathletes should train for swimming in a different day from what specialized swimmers do.  I swim regularly with my training buddies who are all focusing on triathlon or aquathlon. Most often we train in a pool, and our coach makes us do endless repeats of backstroke, butterfly and even just butterfly feet or breaststroke. My question is: If you are a triathlete/aquathlete, and the only swim you do in a competition is the front crawl, does it make any sense to spend half your training time on all the other swims?
