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?
I also had an exact 20 year hiatus. I got back into swimming a year ago and my workouts during the first month were about 400-600 yds per session. It took me about 8-9 months to build up to 3-4k. per workout/practice. I probably was not pushing as hard as some.
