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!

I have never had the charley horse myself on backstroke. Only with fins and just doing too much after just getting in the pool. I have been drinking some OJ ,water, eating bananas and starting off easier,and have not had a bad charley horse now for a couple months. I can tell if a charley horse is coming on. I can feel my leg calf muscle and it tells me to back off. If I do I will be ok but if I turn in a wrong way or tense the muscle the charley horse can come and ouch! As I have posted it will make my leg hard as a stone then it will hurt after it goes away.
