Doing a 3 mile swim.

Just recently completed my 2nd ever one mile open water swim. Lots of fun. Am now planning a 3 mile open water swim in about a month. I decided that my 5 x weekly workouts of 1800 yards probably not enough. I want to not only swim the 3 miles, but enjoy the 3 miles. Have taken my yardage up to 3100 yards 5 x weekly... Is this sufficient? (I use the workouts posted on the Workout forums. I am a little slower than the slowest level given so add about 15 seconds to each interval, put a couple of them together, swimming all freestyle as I dont do fly)
