Because your blood is concentrated near your stomach working to digest your food. Swimming with that going on could cause leg cramps, which mean you're not swimming anymore...you're sinking. You should be fine just wading around in the water, but don't try and swim laps.

If you swim right after a meal, your stomach will become upset because the food has yet to digest so it will begin to churn causing you to throw up. I'm not so sure about the whole death part of it.

you get cramps and if your swimming competitively it gets you a dq cause you can not swim.....you can drown. you can swim after you eat a meal just make sure to give it a few minutes to digest so that you will not get cramps.
