As I said before I'm new at this and I have no idea what an "average" time for a mile would be. Right now I do a non-stop mile (1600 meters) in about 40 minutes. What would be a resonable time for a 48 year old in good good shape? I'm looking for a realistic goal.
First off, the “average” 48 year old male could not finish a 1600 meter swim, non-stop. So you are already way above average. Congratulations!
Asking others to help you set realistic goals sight unseen is tricky, at best. If you swim with a Masters program, then work with your coach to set goals, if you don’t swim with a Masters club, there are many good programs in the St. Louis area. Get with one of these.
