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?)

Interesting question. . .
Last year (LCM) when I was training for a 25K I did up to 1500 meter repeats once or twice a week for a few months. And on occasion I did some straight swims (greater than 1500) if I couldn't make the interval. . .
The fear of dying on the 25K OW competition (and coming in DFL) gave me motivation to swim in the distance lane.
This year I came to my senses and I can't say I've done more than 1500 meters straight this season. The good news is that now, everything seems like a sprint!
