I'm in my early 70's and have been swimming since childhood. This year, for the first time ever, my legs have been cramping during workouts, usually after about a mile. I use fins. I imagine this is related to the aging process but maybe there are other factors. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I'm in the same age range, started swimming in April, and use fins for about a third of my swimming.
I was getting cramps in my calves and feet from the fins for awhile,
but doing regular leg exercises, stretching and yoga, has helped to alleviate and prevent the cramping.
