It's actually quite normal, it's just your body getting used to the exercises. Your body's metabolism is catching up so it has to digest more food for that extra energy.
I went through the same thing during my training for my school team and after practice I would lie face-down on my bed. This helped a lot and if you do the same thing you'll see what it helps you do. It'll get all the gases and stuff that your body has digested out of you. You may also want to do this when no one's around because it can be a little embarassing.

This IS perfectly normal. When swimming at a reasonable speed, you take in lots of air when breathing especially in front crawl and Butterfly. You will probably not have this problem as much when swimming back crawl or breast stroke. However, there are ways in which you can almost prevent this. Before taking your head out of the water to take a breath, make sure, you exhale as much air as possible out of your lungs. Try not to suck in air. Breathe in normally or you could be taking air into your stomach. Also, make sure you drink water frequently while swimming.

Besides the other things mentioned, if you dive the air in your stomach compresses. The first twelve feet have the most affect. This could cause the discomfort. The eating suggestions should clear it up.

I would say no. If it is habitual than I would say that there is another reason for it, but if this strange behavior only occurs when you swim get it checked out. Make sure your not swallowing water. Chlorine can be harmful.

your eating the wrong foods for a good workout. avoid dairy, cuz it kind of churns in your stomach and can make you throw up. yogurt is the worst. try a bannana or bread or somthing, no dairy.
