Default Car just lost a lot of power...help

Ok...Today my car is super slow. Especially before 1500rpm(yeah, I know. its slow but its slower than it was).

So today I was driving on the highway. I hit a little puddle and hydroplained a little bit and water got into my intake and I misfired a few times. It did that like twice after and it was done. Then got some gas after a little while. After about an hour of driving I got home. Then left again and I was driving in the city. Hills I always make it up in 5th gear I had to downshift to 333rrrddd! what the heck. Its consistanytly slow too. I'm thinking its bad gas. Idk though. I just did a small rev when I was driving to see if it misfired again. It had a small little misfire one time out of like 3 revs at different times.

Just wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks

plugs only have 15k miles on them. I can check i guess. Ebrake was down...i think lol. I don't think any lights were on, so no codes.

Throw in a bottle of Lucus Fuel system treatment, if there's water in the gas it'll help clean it out. This is something we all should do about every 3rd or 4th take full of fuel, it'll keep your fuel system cleaned out and keep the injectors clean too.
