What Causes Severe Cramp In The Right Calf Muscle After Swimming?
On Tuesday while swimming, I got a severe cramp in my right calf. Even though it stopped when I got out of the pool, it was still tight and painful. Now it is Thurs. and my calf is still sore and painful and I am limping. Will it go away eventually? I ve never experienced anything like this.

As per your history, it may be due to severe exertion and dehydration.
Due to dehydration, muscle cramp may occur due to electrolytes imbalance.
For that keep yourself hydrated. Take electral sachet.
Take proper rest and avoid over exertion
