Tapering?

I tend to keep my practice schedule during a taper, since I like to try to keep a feel for the water. But I'll slowly cut my yardage and time in the water down to about 1/2 by the end of the taper I agree. I try to swim my normal number of sessions, but cut way down on the yardage. I don't think it's a good idea to stay out of the water totally. Mentally I think I at least need to "get in and splash around" to keep my sanity during the final part of the taper.
