You don't need to slow down that is a myth. Age is a factor in that you have to be smarter at it, because there is less elasticity and strength in the tissues and recovery to an injury can be a longer.
You need to re-hab, but the key is finding the most effective combination of strengthening the opposites (opposite of the repetitive stress), expert massage and stretching the tight muscle groups.. for your injury. Cortisone is a localized anti-inflammatory which is a quick fix - but that will help getting you into more active rehab.
If you are torquing your neck in the swim then that is improper technique. Swim is actually pretty balanced if you breathe bilaterally and roll properly as well do some backstroke. I swam with a special snorkel this week and it was really cool! You look like a freak with this thing but it really worked well. It would be great for neck issues.
