What pace should I swim for 1500m?

I am by no means a fast distance swimmer. I normally train SCY and I am entering the 1500 at a swim meet coming up. Today I swam around 5k and in the middle did the following: 15x100 yards coming in around 1:10. My sendoff was 1:40 (30 seconds recovery). That felt like a strong but controlled effort. My turns suck. Anyone want to take a stab at how fast I should shoot for when I swim this 1500? :)
