Stretching is definatley the way to go. From years of swim team in HS & U, we would always stretch before hand. When ever we didn't we usually got the foot cramps. Your foot is not used to being in a point position all the time.

Mine have gone away since I started stretching my calves and doing a pointed-toe stretch before getting in the pool. I will even do a little stretching during the interval breaks just to make sure they stay away.


plz explain to me your 'pointed toe stretch'
thank you

Basically it is the opposite movement as the calf stretch. As I stand on one foot, I move the other foot to the side and point my toes like a dancer would.
