I am starting to build my long swims from about two miles today, targeting a 10K swim in October. At about what rate would you all suggest I increase the distance of my long swims? Thanks.

No more than 10% per week TOPS. And every 4th week take a recovery week where you scale back to 50% of the yardage done in the 3rd week of the cycle. Gives your body a chance to recover and avoid overuse injuries.
