Greetings
After nearly 3 months off swimming due to a neck fusion I am back at it. Unfortunately have missed all the OW events this year in my area. So, I am goal setting for next year my 50th year on the planet. I want to do a 5K but to date have only gone 1.75 miles a couple of times. I swim 3-4 times per week consistently and am asking for training suggestions from those of you that have completed the 5K distance. I am shooting for a swim one year from now in addition to a number of shorter OW events.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I am on it!!!! I have thought of the core work as well. I have been using a Concept2 rower of late for that work and some crosstraining intervals etc. Anyone ever try the rower for crosstraining?

PS Our local swim club is hosting it's first 5k and 10k OW events August 2010. If you want to visit Coeur D Alene Idaho next summer the venue is beautiful.
