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.

Hey, thanks everybody. I'm a little depressed/overwhelmed at the work I have to do. I can see I've got some major research to do especially on technique.
I've just swtiched up my workouts from two 200 meter warm-ups and then a 1600 non-stop to an 800 meter warm-up (2-200s and a 400) and then 8 - 100 meter "sprints" - I use the term loosely because I'm not very fast at those either. To start out I'll do the sprint workout once a week and the 1600 swim 3 times a week. Will this help my speed on the 1600?
