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've noticed that if I do any sort of kicking drills later in my workout that I also tend to get leg cramps -- hamstring, calf, foot. So IF I am going to do any kicking drills I've begun doing them earlier in my workout and I don't cramp.
