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.”

You wanted to know how long you need to wait after having a baby before you get into a swimming pool. And a good rule of thumb is to wait until you’ve been checked out by your doctor at your postpartum visit, and made sure that everything looks good, and they’ve cleared you to do so. And there’s a couple of reasons for this. Number 1 is that after either a vaginal delivery or a C-section, you’re going to have bleeding for 3 to 6 weeks after delivery, and you can’t use tampons while you’re having that bleeding, and so you shouldn’t get into a swimming pool until all of that bleeding has stopped.
Another consideration is infection, because it takes time for the cervix to close back up, and whether you had a vaginal delivery or a C-section, your cervix is probably dilated a little bit. And if you had a C-section, you have a healing incision. And so again, for all of these reasons, it’s just best to wait until you’ve seen your doctor at your postpartum visit and they’ve cleared you to go swimming.

Patients and viewers often ask when it is safe to have a bath, hot tub, or swim after surgery. There are, of course, concerns with any incision being submerged before it has healed. The surgeons discuss these issues and others in this episode.
