Competitive swimmers spend a lot of time in that 2-3 hours doing stroke work, kicking sets, etc., etc, which all take a lot more time than just swimming straight. 9K is probably about right for a 3 hour workout. 12K would only be on a really distance-intensive day.
Then again, I was a sprinter, so I always did less yardage than the distance guys. Maybe they were doing 12K, I don't know.
And you're a tri-guy, so yeah, you swim a lot of distance straight.
eta: are you talking meters or yards? I'm talking meters.
