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.

I find if I flex my foot (opposite of pointing) I can usually relieve it and actually keep swimming with just my arms. Bananas and V8 Juice (not during the swim) seem to be a good idea also. The last few months I've been having more trouble with foot cramps (ouch!) especially during backstroke. Go figure.
