I don't know. I think you should only wait if you have had a big meal. If you only had a sandwich, just jump right in!If you do some sort of physical activity shortly after eating, you run the risk of getting a stomach cramp.
On land, like playing basketball, this isn't too dangerous as you can just sit out and rest.
In the water, if the cramp is bad enough to not let you swim, it could be deadly.

i've heard of this, and im pretty sure that for most sports, u dont want to do sports right after eating a big meal. it causes discomfort for the stomach. however, if u have eaten something small, such as a snack, i dont see why not jumping into the pool for a little swim. in competitions, i eat something bite size before i swim.I'm trying to think of an American professional swimmer but can't come up with the name...?
That's the general rule, but for some people (like myself) they aren't really affected by this occurance.After doing some general observations of my own and asking people about this I've concluded that people who are prone to motion sickness and don't have a strong stomach will be the most likely to suffer from stomach cramps after eating when they swim. This can be caused from the slushing of internal fluids inside the digestive system along with various chemical reactions that cause lots of pain. The exact cause of the cramps aren't known, but what we do know is that's it's better to go on the side of caution and not eat before swimming before we know how food will affect us when we swim.
