I have never swam in an open water event. I started swimming again in january in a 25 meter pool. I can comfortable swim 1500 meters in 24 minutes (no flip turns). Realizing open water has tides/currents etc. I am attempting to calculate what I might be able to swim a mile in open water. Any thoughts? Also, how many meters should I be training on a weekly basis to swim 4.4 miles. I am 46. Thanks..

Other than favorable currents, most of the open water impacts have been negative on time as compared to lap swimming.
Wouldn't the buoyancy of salt water (assuming ocean/bay, not freshwater lake) be a positive factor?
