The calories burned by swimming 9000 feet depends on the time it takes you to complete the distance and the variety of strokes or techniques you use. In addition, your weight and intensity of the workout significantly impact the number of calories you burn, regardless of distance.
Identification
Nine thousand feet of swimming is the equivalent of 3000 yards. Most short-length pools are 25 yards. As a result, 9000 feet of swimming is the caloric equivalent of swimming 120 laps.
Considerations
Most recreational swimmers won't swim 120 laps in a typical one-hour workout, but elite masters swimmers often swim this amount in this time frame.
Effects
Swimming for an hour burns about 511 calories for a swimmer that weighs 160 lbs., states MayoClinic.com. If you weigh 200 lbs., you'll burn 637 calories swimming for the same amount of time.
