I might join a club.

[Starfish]

IWe swam over 3 km (I slacked out on about 250 because of a massive hamstring cramp). I held up well in the slower group. I've never swum this far in my life...

Hey, good for you! A personal best!

I used to be a swimmer, and I suffered from cramps (which can be kind of scary in the pool) until I realized I needed the same electrolytes, etc, as for other kinds of exercise. If you have something that works for you with running or on the bike, you might try that while swimming, to keep cramps at bay!

Good for you on the club!!
