According to Drishti, one must always be hydrated by consuming plenty of water before getting into the water, especially in hot and humid weather. Dehydration can lead to cramps. One must also do a couple of stretches and loosen up the muscles before going for a long swim.

The human body usually experiences cramps due to dehydration, loss of salts or electrolytes or an occurrence of muscle fatigue or over-exhaustion of muscles. (ANI)
