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.

Scott, I am not a fast swimmer and can't offer any advice. However, first of all, keep up the good work!
I read somewhere unless you can swim like 1:30 or 1:40/100m (don't remember exact pace), you shouldn't focus on a distance/interval swimming, but rather spend almost entire workout on doing drills and improve your techniques. For you will just reinforce a poor technique and simply learn how to swim longer as your aerboci fitness improves. I am not sure if this is true. Can somebody comment?
