It’s advice parents have been giving their children for generations.
Dr. Michael Boniface, an emergency medicine physician at Mayo Clinic, says he remembers the anticipation all kids experience waiting those 30 to 60 minutes to pass before he could jump back in the water.

In this video, I’ll answer the question – is it really dangerous to swim after eating? As a child, you’ve likely been scolded by your parents for trying to swim immediately after eating. Despite your complaints, the adults most probably forced you to sit down and rest for at least half an hour before allowing you to dive back into the pool or the salty ocean water.
This advice has been passed down from generation to generation, but is there actually some truth to it? Or is the danger of swimming right after eating merely an old wives’ tale, initially told to help parents keep an eye on their naughty and hyperactive kids?
Well, the majority of medical professionals say that this piece of advice actually has no scientific basis whatsoever.
According to Dr. Michael Boniface, an emergency medicine physician at the Mayo Clinic, “We know now that, really, there is no scientific basis for that recommendation. You may end up with some stomach cramping or a muscle cramp, but this is not a dangerous activity to routinely enjoy.”
