I'm getting ready to do a 4.8 mile swim in a month and I'm trying to get in some 5000m (and up) pool swims. I usually max out at about 3500 yards so I'm struggling to come up with some workouts longer than that. Does anyone have any good suggestions for sets? Last week I did a main set of 10x200, so I'm fine with swimming some slightly tedious stuff.

Last week I did a set of 1000s in the outdoor pool, which was pretty enjoyable. I mixed it up by doing the first one as a straight swim, the second with fins, and the third with buoy and paddles. All three were broken up mentally as easy 100 / hard 100.
