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? :)

    Did 100's again today... 12x100 SCY coming in 1:09/1:10 with a 1:25 sendoff (15 seconds recovery). This was a pretty strong effort but the past 2 weeks have been very high yardage. :groovy: Does this shed any more light on a 1500m prediction?
