Cramps when swimming???!


Question: Cramps when swimming!?!?!?
I get cramps in my calf when I kick very quickly and they really annoy me!. Does anybody know what I can do to stop this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think you are probably getting a charley horse (muscle cramp)!. This happens to me too!. I've read up on it and it can be caused from lack of potassium!. Bananas, potatoes and orange juice are good sources of potassium!. Also, be sure to stretch your calves prior to exercise!. Unstretched muscles are more prone to cramp!.

I just pulled calf muscle (ouch!) and so will definitely be practicing the above tips!.
