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!

My understanding of cramps relates to most of the causes posted here. After my accident and the loss of my right buttocks and major thy muscles on my right side, I found through experience that the following as essential to preventing cramps:
1. Proper hydration
2. Eat bananas for potassium
3. Proper and extensive warm up
4. Never push it in the pool until your body is ready for the grind
5. Listen to you body. Your body will tell you what it can and cannot take.
Kindest regards,
