After taking two weeks off from swimming (usually swim 5-6 days a week, 3000-4500 yds/workout). How long will it take to get back to where I was before taking the two weeks off?

I think my reason for not getting back is Old age.
But all kidding a side when I work out steadily for 6 weeks I can attain certain goal times even if my lay off is long. I have started back several times but life has its problems. I get in and swim for a month then off for 3 months. Since July, I have been in the pool 10 times swimming. I have not been swimming for the last 2 months even though I am teaching 3 hours a day. But we head for Mexico this week, I still teach for 3 hrs a day but it is water from 7 am till sunset and it is swim, swim, swim. I hope to race in the Canadian Master Championships when I get back.
After a very long layoff of 20+ years I got in the pool April 15 1998 trained a little and swam in the Championships on May 16 1998 and set new BC age group records for 50 free, 100 free and 50 fly.
