Swimming slump

Looking for a little motivational help or a solution. I am slowing down. Sometimes it's difficult to even get through a warmup. I only swim 3x a week, 4-5k. I can repeat 1:15's all day, 5 months ago I was repeating 1:05 on sets of hard 500's w/o issue. I don't understand. I have also developed quite the neck and upper back pain. Can't seen to solve that either but, it's keeping up at night now. I do speed work, i do distance. What do y'all think. :badday:

    I say treat yourself to a nice massage a couple times over the holidays. If it is keeping you up at night, maybe a trip to the doctor is needed. Maybe not swim so much, but do some more quality work until you feel like the slump went away. Add in another activity such as light jogging, elliptical, or whatever... give yourself a bit to bounce back.
