I haven't had a stitch in years....until last night. Had a proper dinner chicken, spuds, gravy and carrot cake for dessert.
1 hour later in the pool i did a 4x500m session - I knew i couldnt do 100s!. And after the first 500m I got my first stitch!
Stopped, did an old masters minute and off i went again, just focused on stretching out a bit more, and was kind of grand until I drove home, when things went from bad to worse - but laying down solved it quickly!
Maybe chicken dinner can be a nicer feed option to gels (and what have you)!!

IMHO, stitches have more to do with breathing than anything else. What you had for dinner was probably too soon to actually have anything to do with what happened whilst ( note the English usage:) swimming. Just my thoughts.
Eating 2 chicken legs, 2 chicken wings, spuds, gravy and carrot cake def induced my stitch - first time i have had a stitch in over a decade.
