There is for younger swimmers who train 15-20K/day, but is it appropriate for the Masters swimmer who trains 3-4K/day (which is where a taper usually ends)? I think this is a great question. You probably don't want to lose your VO2max (sorry) for the distance events by reducing the yardage too much for too long. Maybe keep the yardage about the same but emphasize more race pace sets with longer rest.
