I have posted this before. First of all make sure you're not
dehydrated when you before you get into the pool. After that it's
potassium.


I did find some of that super water stuff im going to try that tonight.
Supposedly it has the electrolytes without the sugars of the gatorade.


Sounds expensive. You can add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon (depending on the
size of your large glasses and your needs) of Morton's Lite Salt to
sugarfree Kool-Aid or Crystal Lite for the equivalent of sugarfree
Gatorade.

For some unknown reason, Morton No-salt (all potassium) costs 4 or
5 times as much as Morton Lite salt (half sodium, half potassium).
I haven't needed any in quite some time on maintenance, but to the
best of my memory, 1/4 tsp of the Lite salt has about 300mg potassium.

A list of foods for supplementing potassium are on Lee's site.
