Are you drinking anything around workout time? Water, Gatorade, Powerade, Accelerade, Amino Vital, etc...
Me, if I remember my water bottle, ice and water-fountain water.

Salt water was a problem for me when I first started to swim Marathon races. For some strange reason my first races in salt water I over kicked and the legs came right out of the water. I attribute that to bouyancy. My legs cramped. When I realized you barely have to kick in salt water no more problems.
I usually had a light massage on the legs before a race, so the legs always had a light coating of baby oil on them.
Ah-Ha! Maybe because I hardly kick at all is the problem; lack of circulation. I use my legs more for body balance than propulsion. And maybe coating my body with some kind of oil would help to repell the salt from the water. This IS my year of figuring out all kinds of problems.
