Advice needed on Tri workouts

I have a friend who is leading a group of swimmers, mostly tris. The tris are stating that the workouts need to focus more on longer distances, such as sets of 200s, 300s and 400s. I would like SR input on tri-swimming workouts that I can pass along to my friend.

(a good pace set for a mile swim) I think any sets between 1500 and 3000 yards total with short rest intervals are great for building endurance, and preparing one to swim a good mile or two.
