I just completed the longest swim I've ever done - 2.5km - and this was using my arms only, with a pull buoy, as my ankle is currently out of action.
I highly recommend the waterproofed ipod shuffle that I just got from Amazon - swimming has to be one of the most boring sports in the world, but motivational music, or even listening to podcasts, are great distractions and make the time go much faster.
The ultrasound of my ankle is booked for tomorrow, when I'll really get to see what has happened in there, and dictate where to from here.
