Do we need recovery weeks?

I ask the question because when I returned to the pool last month after a three week taper for scm zones, I was swimming faster in practice than I had in decades. Now I cannot hold the same pace that seemed almost effortless just a week ago. So do I tough it out as usual until it's time to taper again, or do I schedule recovery weeks throughout the season?

    What?! P90X is a piece of cake? At the risk of Geek telling me to take this lovefest elsewhere, I will answer your question thusly: P90X has built in rest weeks, of which I most certainly partake. But I really don't swim enough to warrant rest weeks, other than my two tapers for SCY and LCM... and my extended August/September 5+ week break. LOL.
