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?

  • so at the 300 of a 1650, stop and take a swig? proper hydration in the weeks/days/hours leading up along with proper training prevents them. jumping in and doing a massive leg workout will get you cramps every time...whether in swimming or running or biking...it doesnt matter what muscle group it is.
