How often do you swim long distance non-stop, say 1500m or more? How often is good? I try to plan for myself :)
(Also, when doing that, do you swim only freestyle or sometimes change to different strokes?)
I raced a 1500 in early June. Once a week for the four weeks prior to the race, I warmed up and then swam a 1500 straight for time. I did this to get my body and my mind used to the distance. Now in Open Water season I go that distance and more all the time but in lakes not pools, somehow for me anyway, it's mentally easier to go distance in openwater.
Are you doing the Aquaman tonight?
