Training for 5 mile swim

I am contemplating doing a 5 mile swim race in July. Right now I swimming 4 times a week, 3500-4000 yards a session (3 times with master, once alone). Would it be helpful to add one or two sessions a week in which I do some lengthy (30 minute or so) repeats? What else might help? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I don't know if that helps, but I feel like we will be prepared for the swim, but certainly not to race 5 miles Trust me, with that kind of work under your belt you'll be ready!
