My first taper as a masters swimmer will be for Nationals. In my youth, I always had huge drops after tapering for a big meet, but that was 25 years ago and frankly, I can't remember how it was done. In addition, those tapers were after 70,000 yards/week. Now I'm only doing 20-25,000 yards/week.
Any suggestions?
Kirk's pretty right on with that. The only thing I'd add, is that as you get older, I think you need more rest time, i.e., three weeks as you approach and then (in theory) exceed 50yo.
