There has been some discussion of non stop swimming all freestyle. I guess one obvious question is why are you swimming for aerobic fitness only this is fine. If one is training for distance swimming an argument can be made for this as part of a weekly training program. I (and people smarter than me) would argue that swimmers are too much in love with interval training as it relates to distance swimming, in the track world the Kenyans do some long steady runs in fact lots of them for their steeplechase, and 5 K and 10K and marathon runners.

Here is an interesting article about Kenyan cross country training. All swimming races in the mile/1500 are really pretty short but some of these runners also race the the 1,500 or mile which would translate to 500/400 free.
Lots of drills, lots of speed work but also long aerobic runs.
