Today I got terrible cramps on my feet soon after started, and had to quit after less than 15 min. When you get a cramp in the middle of practice and it doesn't recover promptly, do you just get out of the pool or continue?

I drink water most of the day, but I make sure I get sodium and potassium. I also drink Fluid after my workout, which has sodium and potassium in it to replenish the lost electrolytes. It's important not to flush that stuff out; hyponatremia can kill you.
Can I get my energy drink needs from the swim up bar in Mexico. Which drink would be best - Margarita, Pinacolata, Coca Cola or Caroana. The Carona is cheaper then Gatoraid.
I will be there next Sunday.
Thanks for the tip Cheryl. I always avoided the Gatorade and similar drinks because of all that sugar and sodium, but I never thought of cutting with water. It's the same thing I did with my kids apple juice. I will definitely give it a try.
