Just a quick question: is it reasonable (ok, no it’s not, but is is possible) to train for swim meets (i.e. 1650 & 500 free) and long distance open water (5-10K+) swims simultaneously? I’ve got YMCA nationals and a 7mile “Swim Around Lido Key” within two weeks of each other!!

If the pool is long course, absolutely yes! The training of long course 1650 and marathon distances are similar.
