Calf cramps while swimming

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. Sandy

  • Marjorie - thank you so much. I will look at that website too. Sounds like it will have great info. I love reading about long swims and swimmers who do them. I am not in medal contention either. so I will keep your advice in mind. Thanks for the well wishes! Happy 4th of July. Sandy
