How many extra mobility sessions should i do a week. I train 9 times a week and i stretch and foam roll for 15 min before every session.

Can someone provide suggestions for preventing and managing side stitches in practice? My 10 y/o swims 5 days a week and tends to get side stitches 1-2 practices every week that cause him pain so then he sits out for a bit. The sitting out or the coach coaxing him back in the water then makes him upset which only escalates the pain. He does not eat huge amounts before practice and hydrates well. He is VERY thin in general. HELP!!!!

My daughter has always trained hard leading up to any gala but today someone advised that she should be tapering as she is swimming a 1500m race on Saturday. I do not know much with regards to this so was looking for advice. Hope it’s ok to ask this question here. Thanks

My long term goal is to swim at the 2028 Olympics (I'll be 18 turning 19 in 2028). My times vs the goal times for Olympics: 100m breast (1:11.04); goal(59,49) 200m breast(2:31.73); goal(2:09,68) 800m free(9:00.41); goal(7:51.65) 1500m free (17:22) (I have not swam this since the beginning of the year); goal(15:00.99) (The 100m and 200m breast are my main events, but i think I can also do well in the 800m and 1500m free) My turns and underwaters are one of the things that really can improve in my swimming. My coaches always say that I lose 0.5s on each turn which as you all know is a lot in swimming. But that's only from the turn. I will always fall behind on the underwater work as well losing almost a second, that's 1.5s each lap that i can swim faster which really irritates me and just throws me off my game. ( So this my short term goal i would like to improve by 9 April 2025 (Senior Nationals)
