After eating, wait before swimming. Why?

[Delta4Embassy]

Hear you're supposed to wait at least an hour after eating before swimming. Supposedly so you don't get a cramp. But swimming here just about every day, often having just eaten, I think it's more so you don't spit up.

Doing a lot with your tummy when swimming. Holding your breath, getting a breath, a lot of strain is noticeable on the stomach muscles. I can see the wisdom therefore in waiting for food to digest and leave your stomach before doing anything straining with it.

Hey - you could be right.

It's this part that got me, however...

Supposedly so you don't get a crap.

(Emphasis mine)
That would be bad, depending on just where one was swimming...

The digestive system pull blood from around the body to help with the digestive process. Simple.....

And some vasoconstriction.

The food won't settle in your stomach because it becomes buoyant when you're in the water.

no.

Excuse me?

the displacement, mass, and shape of the food you ate does not change depending on if you are wet or dry.

Don't tell your lungs that. Been constricting and re-expanding all along depending on pressure.

Q. Why

A. Mom said so!

so you think under greater pressure the food would start to displace more fluid? doesn't make sense.

It'll float in any fluid or stomach acid just like our entire body floats in the water.

Many true things are also counter-intuitive. Don't get me started on time.
