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.

1.10 - 1.15 100 m close enough pretty good time. Does your pool have a pace clock www.recreonics.com/timing_equipment.htm
The pools I swim at have two big ones, one at each end. To get your times down do 100s on 2 min. swim 1.40 rest 20 will give you a pace to do a 26.6 min mile. 1.30 pace gives you a 24 min mile. Reduce the rest over time and then eliminate the rest.
