I always thought the line was that you'd get a cramp!
Add to that "and you'll drown", and that's what I was told as a kid, over and over again. I can still hear my Mom say "You just ate, don't go in the water for an hour!"
In all my years of swimming (pool, ocean, lakes, whatever), I have never experienced a cramp. I am either just not prone to getting them, or maybe I'm doing something right (for me) by not eating much before I work out.
