How long do you wait to go swimming after eating?

I've been waiting an hour but I think that might be too long. Today I want to swim in a different schedule so I was wondering.

I have to eat something before I go or I run out of energy. Light and high in sugar for quick energy. Dried fruit works the best.

It's a complete fallacy that you need to wait to go swimming after a meal.

I was shocked at your reply. All parents said this when I was a kid. But I looked it up on some medical websites and you are RIGHT! Duke University Medical School, Mayo and several other respectable websites agree with you. I'm about to go in now.

I've often been swimming right after eating and never had any bad consequences.

If it is a main meal I always wait 2 hours or so.
