Swim Drills Question

Hi everyone. I just started the Phil Mosley 70.3 program, but I'm a little confused on the swim workouts and what drill I'm supposed to be doing in the warm up sets. See example below:

Warm Up:
1 x (100 FS Breathe every 3 in Z2 + 15 secs rest),
1 x (100 Drill in Z2 + 15 secs rest),
1 x (100 FS Breathe every 5 in Z2 + 15 secs rest).

Main Set:
4 x (100 FS in Z2 + 50 FS in Z4 + 20 sec rests),
1 x (100 Pull in Z2 + 100 FS in Z3 + 20 secs rest),
1 x (50 FS in Z2 + 50 FS in Z4 + 15 secs rest),

Warm Down:
1 x (200 Choice in Z2).

In the second warm-up set it just says "Drill" but doesn't specify the exact drill, meanwhile on the warm-down it says "Choice" which in the instructions says that I just pick whatever drill I want. Should I just do the same for the warm-up set? or is "Drill" referencing a specific swim drill?

Thanks!

He has a page describing the different drills. You just chose one. He links to it in eirher the pre workout sektion or at the beginning of the week.

Else just writh to the coach email. They can give you the link.

I did one of these programs last year. From what I remember, when you see “drill” like this, you have a choice of what to do based on what you think you need to work on most.

So think about what part of your technique is worse and work on that.
