4 years ago, I used to swim an average of 4000-5000 meters a day, sometimes with a coach, sometimes on my own, over the years that went down to the point that I’m happy if I pass 2000 meters.
My problem is my low motivation, my best times are really far from where I’m at, I can train with a team only twice a week, and I have very little time to practice since I’m studying a lot, but somehow I manage to go everyday.
So, I don’t know if I just got really bored or stressed, but my will power to go to the pool every day is disappearing, this last month I really didn't care if I missed 2-4 days of pool in one week, and the days I do go, I don't even push myself like I used to.
What can I do?

Thank you all for the answers. I will take some ideas.
I decided to stop swimming for a week and see what happens. I think the reason is related to high levels of stress.
To answer some questions: I don't practice any other sport. I do keep track of what I do every day in practice (distance, times, stretch, lifting). I have a meet in two weeks, I will go even though I'm in a really bad shape.
