i noticed that after swimming for a while, i experience foot cramps. They are sometimes so painful that i have to stop swimming or just end my workout altogether. is there any way to get rid of them. They are really hindering with my workouts.

I get horrible foot cramps. Mine are because of my plantar faciatis, so make sure you don't have an underlying problem that is causing your cramps. What has worked best for me, make sure you strecth your feet. Put the ball of your foot on the edge of a stair or pool, and push your heel down, it'll strecth the arch. Make sure you eat lots of bananas, lots of water, and you get plenty of calcium. Last time I was at the doc, she told me that calcium was a big contributor to cramps..which I didn't know. Good Luck!!
p.s. Islandsox...Pedalyte is good when you've had a few to many Rum and Cokes too. :drink:
