Myth: You need to wait an hour after eating to swim or you can cramp and drown.
Reality: Many sources say there are no documented cases of anyone ever drowning because they’ve had a cramp related to swimming with a full stomach. Cramps do happen frequently when swimming, but they aren’t caused by what’s in your stomach. If you do get one, the best policy is to float for a minute and let it pass.
