I've been having a problem recently. When I swim, about 300 yds in, I get a really bad headache. This just started happening about two weeks ago. I have been swimming for about year now and have never had anything like this. The pain is unbearable to the point where it feels like a migraine.
If anyone has had the same problem please let me know. Are my goggles too tight? Maybe my swimcap? Am I depriving my brain of oxygen !? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to swim without this pain!

Probably not since I have no idea what that means..

A "neutral position" means looking toward the bottom of the pool, not forward, with your head in line with your body. If you look foward or if you lift your head (say, to breathe) you may be tensing your neck muscles which can cause headaches.
