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.
Like you I started swimming at 48. Although I learned to swim when I was 6 or 7, I had no competitive swimming background and had not swam in years. When I started 7 years ago, I could not swim 25 yards without hanging on the wall gasping for air. I'm now 55 and last week I did a 1600 meter swim in 26 minutes.
