I like going a long way, taking few breaks, if any. The sound of the water and the quiet underwater keeps me coming back.
I like swimming the backstroke a lot. It’s my happy place.

I agree! Backstroke is the best. You have a lot of air and a bed of water.
That’s a good speed for so much backstroke! Sounds peaceful.

Thank you! Swimming slower for longer distances is peaceful for me 
We have had some college swimmers join our open water group. They like the cool water, not having a clock, seeing things other than the line, and talking. We pick places to meet along the way, and they like to talk. Some do open water events, some just swim and enjoy a different side of the sport.

That sounds amazing! My friend swims a lot in Hawaii. Sadly, it is not an option where I am

Where are you? There are open water groups all over the US, and many other countries. You just have to find one.
This looks right! I saw another 5km swim with 750m butterfly and the work was “okay” 
I hope to swim those distances this year.

You can do it! Doing the same thing helps, while resting your shoulders. I would drown doing nearly a 1000 butterfly
