I'm not a D guy, but if I were going to prepare a 1500 M fr I'd train for the 1500 in practice, work on endurance, conditioning, racing, speed, and pacing.
Swim several 1500's & further in practice
Before the Race
shave
warm up well
make it so your goggs won't fog
wear a fast suit
in the swim
breathe every 2
use a 2 beat kick
Swim the first 200 way easier than you think you should.
you're going to settle into a pace and you'll settle into a faster ave pace if you don't kill yourself on there
Hold the same per 50 pace for the next lengths 5 - 28
sprint the last 100
Stay relaxed
even to negative splitting is the way to swim it
