Depending on what shape you're in.
Just listen to your shoulders, they'll tell you if you're doing too much. Or if you're doing something wrong.
1000M workout may be a lot for a novice, and when my friend was swimming on a national level, in college, they had workouts ypr to 10,000 M a day, 5000 in the morning and 5000 at night.
2500-3000 a day is useally considered a solid beginners workout (maybe your forst 6 months of swimming).
4000-ish would be intermediate
6000 a day or more is pretty advanced.
