    "Don?t go swimming for an hour after you eat or you?ll get cramps" - I guess everyone have heard this phrase, right? xD An article about this is right below...v

    While article already stated what science thinks i want to hear your thoughts :p How much true this is? Did you ever experienced this?
     
    Yes, I've already heard that especially as a kid, and since my mum really worries me she always said I should wait 3 hours before going back to swim so I've never experienced this. :)

    When I'm alone though I just stick with 1 hour which should still be fine.
     
    To be honest, I've never experienced this myself. I never have cramps after I eat and go swim.
     
    What I do know is, it's not uncommon around here in New York for people to die of heart attack while shoveling snow in the morning after having a good, heart-healthy breakfast.

    Growing up, I was never told to wait an hour before swimming. However, 20 minutes was the given wait period. My dad was in the Navy when he was younger so I guess he knew a little about that? I don't really know.

    But I've never had trouble even if I did rush in.
