No matter what suit I use, under 80F water temp my hamstrings will cramp. Can anyone recommend a pair of insulating shorts for some extra heat? Thanks.
 
I would recommend strengthening your hamstrings. Try walking on your tippy toes more? It is not a heat issue...
 
drink lots of water--- take Potassium and calcium mineral tablets--stretch a bit before you jump into the water... I used to get leg cramps all the time-- but after doing a ounce of prevention-- i have been rewarded with a pound of results..
 
Don't swim so fast... don't bicycle kick.
