Average Joe/Jane swim times

Does anyone know a thread or a website where I could get a better idea of what older and not former competitively trained swimmers are doing time-wise? It seems to always be the winning times which are posted. I was looking at the USA Swimming Times, at the oldest age (50) and the lowest category (B) and the guy was STILL doing a 20min 1650!! I'm 58, 6'1" (6'4" arm span) 180lbs. And I'm forever stuck at a 29-30 minute mile. I know that if I was training with Masters I would do better, but they are too far away. (Money is being raised for a YMCA, so that could change) I'd love to know what average times older swimmers who have taken up swimming AFTER college (no previous team experience), but have a passion for the sport are achieving. Thanks
