swim pool length - impact of swimming pool size on accuracy

Let me rephrase the question... On Swimming. What is the impact on accuracy of swim metrics, if my Garmin Swimming Pool is set to 14 Meters, the smallest, but the ACTUAL size is 9 Meters. What I am really looking for is accurate as much as possible on Calorie Burn. ( need every calorie burn I can get).

The longer the pool size, the more samples are collected by the watch for more effective style and lap recognition.

The calorie burn isn't likely influenced by pool length. Mainly that is determined by duration.
