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.

How do we become faster for a mile? It is not by swimming a mile. We have to improve our full stroke and do lots of repeats at Race Pace.
Drills??? I don't think so. When I went to a masters club the coach never once made a stroke correction he/she wasted valuable time having everyone do drills.
How fast do you want to swim your 25 min or 22 min mile. Easy you have to know how fast you must go for a 100 and never swim slower than that time for a 100. To swim a 22 minute mile we must go 1.15 per 100. So if I want to swim that 22 minute mile I should not swim under 1.15 for a 100.
25 min mile 100s are done in 1:25.3 per 100.
Do your repeats at race pace...
