      Can I swim just after eating?

      It is not advisable to let children go swimming immediately after eating, because swimming after a meal is very harmful to the body.

      In fact, after people have just finished eating, more blood will flow to the digestive organs and skin , this will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, the food has not been digested, the water flow will compress the intestines and stomach when swimming, and it will also cause vomiting. In addition, children who are not physically strong after strenuous exercise or heavy labor and are hungry should not swim. Swimming on an empty stomach will affect appetite and digestive function.

      In addition, you should rest for a while after swimming, otherwise, it will suddenly increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and in the long run, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal tract disease , and be careful not to chew gum or eat other things in the water to avoid suffocation.
