Last Question:
True or False:
If you go swimming less than an hour after eating, you will get stomach cramps and drown.
Answer:
False
Not once has a drowning death been attributed to “swimming with a full stomach.” Yes, swimmers can develop cramps in the water, but few are caused by eating right before swimming. Unless you can’t swim (in which case you should wait until you’ve had lessons before taking a dip), no cramp would be serious enough to prevent you from swimming to safety.
