During our swimming careers we have all experienced the feeling of "being in-shape" and not quite "in-shape".
My question is this; From a physiological or Kinesiological standpoint, what is happening in your body when you can so easily go from being in-shape to losing that in a matter of a week or two?
I'm an old masters swimmer now but even swimming High School, Club or College whenever I would go on a vacation or get sick for a week, it took two - three weeks to get back to where I was before the vacation or sickness?
What is happening in our body when we can swim a 1:07 BR and then two weeks later can't break 1:10???
Thanks in advance for your answers and opinions...

I'm not an expert in this at all... but when I ask people who should know, they tell me it is "neurological" as opposed to a muscle mass issue. If I am hearing them correctly, it may be connected with how our neurological system gets the muscles to contract, and how patterned this response is. Again, not an expert here, just relaying what I think I've heard.
