I think the key is to take it easy enough to not cause yourself issues, but try to do enough to maintain some of your muscular and cardiovascular strength.
As a child I took all the swim levels and passed with flying colors. I continued swimming until my early teens but it's been about 15 years... It all came back like riding a bike!
