  • Tums before you swim will work in some cases. Last choice - surgery to correct the problem. Swimming is the opposite of everything they tell you for acid reflux. Don't lie down for 2 hours after eating. Prop up the head of your bed, etc. When you swim, you're prone, then every 25 yards you turn upside down to flip turn. I decided to have surgery and have never regretted the decision.
