What is it that causes a lower leg muscle pain, a charley horse?
I have gotten them at times and my leg muscle will get as hard as a rock, after it goes away my leg will be sore. When I would get them was when I would use regular swim fins and start out doing too much without a warm up. One swimmer told me they were from a low sugar level. I have the Zoomer fins also, and have not had a charley horse with them.
Merry Christmas!

However, when you do get a hint that you might get a cramp...chances are is that you are going to get it. It may seem like a pain, but I usually get out of the pool to stretch it out and walk around for a bit with my water bottle to make sure it goes away completely. It's much better to lose a 3 minutes of your workout to take care of your potential charlie horse than to take the risk and lose the rest of your workout to a reall charlie horse.
