My daughter is a USA swimmer and has had a decline in her stamina now for about 3 weeks. Her goal is to go to State and she only needs to drop 3 sec. on her free and 6 sec on her *** and she is frustrated. Can anyone give me ideas on how to help her or ideas as to why this might be happening

I wish I knew this kind of answer for my own goals.
Note however that cutting 3 and 6 seconds, is about making a big chunk of improvement.
This size of improvement is usually overcame by swimmers in their growth phase, when hormones and body development are at their maximum.
Aside from growing, the conventional answer lays in resting well, eating well, training well, being positive, having a good technique, undertaking medical tests that monitor the red blood cells count and the swimming VO2Max.
However, beyond this conventional answer, lay more profound answers, in the realm of the unknown nature.
