    I mean, any vigorous activity directly after eating can cause a stomachache. I don’t know why swimming was the sole focus but a general caution to digest a bit before activity isn’t bad advice.

      Maybe the lethal logic goes cramp = can’t swim = drowning? Not true, but that is my best guess.

      Yeah, waiting a short bit after eating is a good idea in general.

      Because it’s misinfo to reduce people bringing food to the pool. Same with the pee indicator thing… Someone must’ve been on a crusade

      But the cramps thing just isn’t true. Light exercise like a walk or casually swimming is great
