Normal pulse is 60-90. A low pulse would be if your heart was beating slower then 60. Often, a healthy person who is in good shape will have a resting heart rate in the 50s and its no cause for concern. Some athletes even have heart rates in the 40's. Depending on an individuals base line pulse a "low" pulse rate may not actually be abnormal for the individual.

Is it normal to have a pulse in the low 40s and slightly swollen ankles?
No it is not and your swollen ankles means you are retaining water. If you are on medications some meds can cause swelling of the ankles and feet. A pulse of 40 is low so I suggest you get to your doctor immediately. I am not trying to panic you, but these symptoms can be mean heart problems to kidney problems. If on any medications then your doctor needs to know what side effects you are experiencing and either adjust the dose or put you on another medication. There could be other causes, but, if you see your doctor now there is no reason you can't control whatever situation is causing the low pulse and the swelling.
Is it better to have a low pulse rate or a high pulse rate?
Lower is usually better since athletic hearts beat slower because they can pump more blood easier.
