Getting slower

My 100's times are now approx 5 seconds slower than about 14 years ago, when I was relatively new to Masters. Is this "normal?" Has anyone experienced this and then made a comeback? During this time frame, I stopped swimming off and on few a few years. But am now back to practicing regularly with a masters group. I'm hoping to get back to where I was. Is it just a given we will continue to get slower as we age? Or maybe my lack of good practicing has caused my less than great performance recently, and it can be recovered?
