Not sure if this question has been done on here before, if it has then I guess this thread will die and go away and that's cool too.
Most people are saying that the fact that you have to wait 30 minutes after eating to swim is an old wive's tale and it's not true. Well me personally, I get terrible cramps if I don't wait. I was just wondering if anybody else found the tale to be true and get cramps and how many people can eat and then immediately swim with no adverse effects.
There's a typo in the poll...it's *has, not is

I feel like if I swim right after I eat, I have a hard time getting thru my normal practice...I always put this up to the blood supply/GI thing, but it could also be psychosomatic, I don't know.
I'm still in a weght-loss frame of mind, and I feel like if I work out after eating, I'll just burn off the calories I just ate instead of the calories that have been acting like the houseguests of my midsection that have over-stayed their welcome...
