Shoutout to my friend who insisted you have to wait an hour after eating before swimming
I chose to ignore him and jumped in the pool right after lunch last Saturday, and nothing happened at all. Has anyone else actually gotten a cramp from this, or is it just something parents say?

You ever get that super full feeling after a big meal? That's the real issue. I tried swimming right after a huge burger and fries once and just felt heavy and slow in the water, like I was dragging. It wasn't a cramp, but it was super uncomfortable and made it hard to actually swim right. Maybe the old rule is more about comfort than actual danger?

Yeah that heavy and slow feeling is the worst. So you think it's more about just being uncomfortable, not really getting a cramp?
