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.
I have definitely thought about surgery. Thanks for the info. Who do you consult about that surgery?
Right now, in the meatime, I am going to try and avoid eating within two hours of my workout time and am going to take Tagament in the morning and evening. I used to use Pepcid before swimming, even kept a bunch in my bag.
