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.

I've been doing lots of distance oriented workouts this summer.
Don't be afraid to do really long sets. Things like 5x1000. They seem daunting at first, but you'll get used to it. Mix this up with more pace oriented stuff and you'll be well prepared for your long swim.
