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?)

Quite often. I enjoy longer swims much more than interval training. I usually do math problems or computer algorithms in my head during the first part, while I'm fresh, and then later my mind ranges all over the place.
e.g. last Saturday: 6200 yards in 1:30 - steady pace.
Sunday: 1 hour (4100 yards) with 100 yard "sprints" thrown in every 5 minutes.
Monday: easy 2000 yards for recovery. Work technique.
Tuesday: Harder hour (~4200 yards)
Wednesday: Intervals with one set that was a continuous 2000 done as 4x{400 hard, 100 easy}
Thursday: easy 2000 yards recovery, work technique.
Favorite workout is a steady 2 hours to gauge my fitness.
