Will I get too thirsty in a 1.7 mile or 2 mile OW swim?

I'm hoping to advance from 1500 meter & 1 mile OW swims in 2016-2017 to a couple of events that are 1.7 and 2.0 miles. Both events are in brackish tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay not far from the locations of past swims. Despite ensuring good hydration before, I find I am very thirsty when I finish. In the pool, I usually go through 24-32 oz water by the time I have finished that distance. Will this issue ease with better conditioning? Any suggestions.?
