The sizes look sane. 2*ram=swap If your machine hibernates, all the contents of ram goes to swap. 15GB / plenty of space. .5GB Boot partition. Safe enough, but every 3 months or so, check capacity with df -h as the drive can fill up with old Linux images. The rest for home files makes sense as well.
