Sven swims 5 laps in a pool 11 1/3 yards long. What total length does he swim?

To find the total length Sven swims, we need to multiply the length of the pool by the number of laps he swims.

The length of the pool is 11 1/3 yards.

We can convert 1/3 yard to inches by multiplying it by 36 since there are 36 inches in a yard: 1/3 yard * 36 inches/yard = 12 inches.

So the length of the pool is 11 yards + 12 inches = 11 + 12 = 23 inches.

Sven swims 5 laps in the pool, so he swims 5 * 23 inches = <<5*23=115>>115 inches. Answer: \boxed{115}.
