Side Stitch

Posted by Kevin Doak on Wednesday at: 2:54am (December 1st, 2010)

I swam almost the entire practice with a side stitch. This gave me a good reason to learn more about "side cramps" or "side stitches". I used to get them while running and frequently at the beginning of practice swimming in college. I never quite knew the reasons. After reading up, I turns out side stitches occur the most in swimming?! Crazy.
