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've noticed that people who use fins the whole workout tend to get cramps frequently. I don't know if you use them or not but my advice is to do the majority of the swim on your own volition and REALLY get into shape instead of becoming a turbo-powered swimmer.
