What do I do when I'm swimming and I get a cramp in my foot?
- Stay calm. Panicking will only make the cramp worse.
- Stretch the cramped muscle. To do this, grab your toes and pull them towards your shin. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds.
- Massage the cramped muscle. This will help to relax the muscle and relieve the pain.
- Apply heat. This can be done by taking a warm bath or shower, or by using a heating pad.
- Rest. Once the cramp has subsided, it's important to rest the muscle to prevent it from cramping again.
