Those who took a lot of time off...how long did it take you to get back in shape?

I am wondering how long it will take. I have not swum competitively in about 20 years. I have done other exercise in these 20 years but have never been close to being in the condition I was in back then. I wonder how long it will take to get into at least moderate competitive swimming condition. I guess it is all in how one defines things. I currently swim about 3000 yards/work out and my times are a lot slower than they were back when I was in top shape. I am thinking 6 months might be enough to get into moderate shape. Anyone else here go through a similar long time away from the pool get back into fair shape? How long did it take you?

    Thanks everyone. The Fortress, What are RC muscles and SDK? My swimming partner and I did a timed trial last week so that when we go to meets we won't feel we are slow but rather we will see that we are getting faster than our starting point. Thanks for the encouragement!
