No. You can swim. But you run the risk of getting cramps. And yes, it's true. Actually, any sort of excercise after eating can cause cramps. It's best to wait the 20 or 30 minutes.

Only if you're planning on swimming a marathon
Yes. It's an old wives tale. You could have stomache cramps if you try swimming too vigorously

If you have had a large meal yes. I was always told this. The reason I was given, if you jump in a pool with a belly full of food it can come up and you will either vomit or choke.
Don't know how much truth there is in it but I always wait, once something is drummed into your head you kinda believe it and it does sound logical.
Look forward to some enlightened responses from people who actually know the ramifications.

Yes or you can get leg cramps, I learned this in my lifeguard class.
