Question for Science-minded swimmers...

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... :confused:
