I`m 55 years old,.my knees are shot, so at my doctors advise I took up swimming 4 years ago. Last week I swam 1000 yards,.non-stop in 15 min. 40 seconds.

That sounds REALLY good to me. I don't have a time for a 1,000, but I did a SCY 500 in 8:07.34 about 5yrs ago (in my early 40's). So I'd say you're doing great!
That is good. That is a 1:34 100yd pace.
What I did recently was post my 50,100,200,500,1000. I got alot of good feedback where I need work and what to do about it.
If your 100 is slow, then maybe doing some higher intensity can bring down your 1000 time even more.
