Hello swimming community! I wanted to reach out and get some advice for a 36km swim I am planning on doing in July 2020. I was a college swimmer and did long distance open water swimming in my mid 20s, including the Strait of Gibraltar and a 16 mile swim in Peru. I then went to medical school and residency and have only been swimming has taken a bit of a back burner. I've rejoined masters and was planning on getting my work-outs up to about 20km per week by January, 30km per week by April. I'll do some longer swims in the pool, but the ocean in Los Angeles is a bit too cold for me to do many longer ocean swims in June. The Capri-Napoli swim should be about 74 degree water, which is great.
Any recommendations for training?
Or does this seem too ambitious?
Thank you so much!
