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.

Oh... and if you were in the pool, you may be experiencing the cramps more from the push off the wall than anything else... especially as you tire and become dehydrated. I've had that happen to me before and I've always chalked it up to hard push-off with fatigued/depleted muscles.
