Yes indeed^^^ you do sweat in the water, for sure...this kinda reminds me of a chat I had with a friend that swore fish don't piss, true story...anyways Podge what was it you was talking 'bout:chatup

I stand corrected. Although I do tend to shiver more than sweat at this time of year.

Oh man, I cramped in my left calf yesterday afternoon at the pool, I drank a lot of caffeine, did'nt stretch, ate lots of salt, and have'nt had a banana in years! :blackeye I really do know better :crutch I'm glad that I'm working this out now rather than when we hit the Port Aransas jetty in October!

Mix some gatorade with water,it always help.
Keep drinking fluids,most important thing.
Good luck

Here in South africa there is a product called re-hydrate (doctors prescribe it to people with severe dehydration) - it works a charm - doesnt taste too great but it certainly helps during the day at sea but also one tends to feel less tired in the evening. I have been using it for some time now and have not had cramps.

I think fitness levels would also have an impact on the likelihod of cranps.
