Suggestions of workouts for loooong distance?

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.

    Lots of great suggestions I would add a set of shorter sprints in the beginning and end. To make a little distance from the pack in the beginning or to catch a group or for a kick at the end. .. Also to get your heart going a bit more Sounds like fun enjoy your event Cheers Peace :)
