For the first time ever I experienced calf cramping about 3 miles into a 5 mile swim. Luckily I was in a pool. I am going to an OW 10K next weekend and am looking for some quick advice or what to do before a swim to avoid the cramps or what to do during if I (and hopefully I don't) experience them again and this time in OW.
Thanks in advance.

Yep, hydration is hugely important... with an electrolyte replacement like gatorade; the extra sugars to replace depleted glycogen stores can't hurt either for distances over 3-4 miles.
