Leg Cramps

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 often used pickle juice to alleviate body cramps. I get them in my quads, groin, hamstrings, hip flexors...I'm a mess. Pickle juice works well and fast but I've found that if I take magnesium & calcium I'm somewhat cramp free...depending on my activity that day.
