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.

Training Story
I swam alongside a huge group of Parents and their boy scouts this evening. I have to say, this group was among the most respectful, fun loving group of children I've seen around the pool in a long time. The parents should be proud
