A bstract We study the Swampland Distance Conjecture for supersymmetric theories with AdS 5 backgrounds and fixed radius through their N N = 2 SCFT holographic duals. By the Maldacena-Zhiboedov theorem, around a large class of infinite-distance points there must exist a tower of exponentially massless higher-spin fields in the bulk, for which we find bounds on the decay rate in terms of the conformal data. We discuss the origin of this tower in the gravity side for type IIB compactification on S 5 and its orbifolds, and comment about more general cases.
