What about the idea that your blood concentrates in the stomach, etc.,
while you're digesting, and swiming (or doing any type of exercise)
takes away from the digestive process, since blood goes to the the
muscles instead?
Of course, that also happens when you eat in a rush, go back to work or
whatever, and start working right away (blood goes to the brain, etc.)
and everyone seems to think that's fine. I am not questioning the
control issue in the swimming example, though. I actually think that
adults should be more careful about swimming afer eating than kids. Kids
can burn food at a higher, faster rate (unless they have a slow
metabolism, of course, and the tendency to gain weight).
