Is Swimming Dangerous after Eating?

/ Swimming Tips / By
Did your mom ever tell you that you could not go swimming for at least 30 minutes after you eat? Myth or Truth Simply put, no you do not have to wait 30 or more minutes to swim after you eat! Swimming right after you eat is not dangerous at all. Myth 1… the concern was that because digestion diverts some of your blood flow from your muscles to your stomach, swimming might somehow inhibit that necessary blood flow to the stomach, causing cramps so severe that you could drown. Myth 2 claims the opposite… your limbs won’t get enough blood flow because your stomach is diverting it, causing you to drown. These concerns are unwarranted because your blood just isn’t diverted enough to cause any real problems. The Fact is…There are no documented deaths attributed to anyone swimming on a full stomach. Fun fact this myth has been around since 1908! Respond back if you know where the myth came from.
