Well done, I'm impressed. Swimming is something I'd like to do, but I can't afford to pay to exercise. That's why I want to get away to the sea again like last year to do a little.
I know what you mean about swimming cramps. When I was on holiday with Nick's family in Spain ages ago I got a bit cocky & tried out this weird corkscrew swim that I had seen somewhere before. Very quickly I got appalling cramp in my right calf & foot arch, agonising and locked. Just had to try & stay afloat for a couple of minutes until it unlocked & the white hot pain faded. It is horrible, like you say.
Getting cramp in bed in the morning is a little worrying though - I think you should see a doctor about that...
Seems like driving to somewhere like jellyfish island is going to cost more than going to a swimming pool. (Although obviously a more pleasant day out, weather permitting.) Amy's keen to do some swimming in a lake somewhere. It's one of her to-dos before she leaves the US. I thought it might be tricky to find somewhere appropriate near here, but your book would have some ideas for places further afield we could visit. And it'd be nice to take another trip together to jellyfish island, or somewhere else not to far away.
According to wikipedia, "nocturnal leg cramps" are not uncommon (and common in later stages of pregnancy) but no-one's entirely sure why they happen.
