I am trying to help a friend who is attempting an open water 7k lake swim in july. he wants to start training now. since i am only mid distance stroke swimmer, i have no idea what to tell him. remember he is a newbie and not a masters swimmer yet. he thinks he should just swim sets of 1000m . btw,he will be training in a hot 25 m pool.
i have never seen him swim so don;t know much about his stroke etc..
any advice would be deeply appreciated.
for the italian swimmers on this forum, you can pm me with instructions in italian as he is italian and i will pass it onto him.
thanks a lot

New to swimming or new to O/W? If new to swimming, this is overly ambitious and probably dangerous. If new to O/W, ideas above are good.
he is new to competition. i think he is over his head.
i certainly wouldn;t do it .
not even a 5k .no way, no how.
