Hello, everyone.
I just got back in the pool after three decades away and hope to compete in a few meets in the next calendar year. I love being back at it and can already feel and see my body adjusting in the first couple of weeks. However, doing actual workouts which include kicking drills has caused my legs - mainly in the calves - to cramp up when I get to about 3/4 of the way through the workout and attempt to dolphin kick or streamline kick in a drill.
Is this due to lack of strength, stretching or salt? Or is it just going to take some time before my body adjusts to this new type of movement?
Any advice or insight is appreciated!
I used to get cramps in my feet fairly regularly, and still do a bit, but far less often since I've started taking a calcium/magnesium supplement every day.
This is the one I use:

Hydration could also be a factor, but if you're well hydrated and still cramping, give those a shot and see if it works for you. It definitely worked for me and several other people I've recommended it to.
