It depends, for some people it can be like excersizing after a meal. It won't give you a chronic illness, but it can make a few people nauseous. For most, it's okay.

No, Carlos, it's not a problem. That stems from the old wives' tale that going in swimming right after eating is dangerous. Usually it is not at all dangerous, unless one has a preexisting condition. It has been thought, by laymen, that the shock of going in cool water following a heavy meal would cause such severe abdominal cramps that the person would drown. This has never been proven. I've been an emergency nurse for over forty years, and I've never encountered, nor have I ever met another professional who has encountered, someone who suffered by going swimming right after a big meal. So Carlos, enjoy your dinner tonight and follow it up with a nice warm bath. You'll feel like a million bucks!

it is a myth that came from when people use to go swimming right after they ate and would cramp up, but taking a bath you are not active like when you are swimming
