Minimum days without swimming that will get you rusty?

How many days without swimming (illness, travel...) will make you rusty? Not only losing the speed, but also losing the techniques? How long does it take for you to recover the previous best performance?

Sounds like 3 days is where the effect begins to show for most people. Recently, after 6 days off, I swam the first 2 laps like a drunkard :D. The 3rd one was much better, though still very bad. Took me 2 or 3 more days to get back to "normal".
