Another Nutrition Question

Just wondering if I need to eat/drink during a 5 mile swim. It's not a race just working up to it to see how it feels. I am currently swimming about 10k-12k/week. The longest swim I've done is a 3.5 miler and it wasn't particularly challenging but i was also going slower than normal. At what distance do I need to starting fueling up or seriously considering nutrition?

    It's nothing formal, I just needed a lake that was about 5 miles. I'm sure you're familiar with Lake Willoughby. I have a goal of swimming 5 miles by the end of the summer, it's close enough.
