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 had forgotten about those. They didn't give them to the swimmers, but I remember they had salt tables for the football guys and I believe for some of the other sports. Heck, I use fake salt most of the time to cut dowm my sodium comsumption (fake salt is salt with less sodium and little added potassium and citrate, tastes funny but you get used to it, this information only for the non dieters aboard). That was way before the isotonic drinks. My friends from the running world gave advice on taking the Slow-K or another potassium pill on the week previous to running the marathon. I am lazy, look it up on the google, they probably have tons of information on potassium supplements. Somebody above mentioned calcium, and it is used somewhere in the process of avoiding cramps. The little I knew on the subject way back I have forgotten. And Larry, I do knock people out for a living, although mostly babies and kids doing a CAT Scan or MRI. Mostly I give ladies epidurals for C-sections and other operations specific to women. Okay, I give them a little something to feel good, mainly Midazolam, (Versed in the U.S.), maybe some morphine? Take care, and Donna, have your sister send you one of those huge bottles of advil, I think they have them with 500 pills. billy fanstone
