I'm planning a vacation to Denver in June. At the time, they wil be holding the Mile High, One Mile. I live in an area that is very close to sea level. I was wondering if anyone can give to me training ideas to get ready for the high altitude.

I live in Kansas, elevation 991 feet. I've swum in two meets in Denver - one long-course, and one short-course. What I discovered was that I could swim the short races (50s, 100s) with no problem and with decent times.
The "altitude effect" kicks in during the longer races. You'll be able to swim them; just don't expect great times.
