N2  - Questions to be Addressed    Does swimming within one hour of eating increase the risk of drowning in child or adult recreational or competitive swimmers?    Introduction/Overview    There is a persistent belief in the United States that swimming immediately after eating will cause stomach cramps, which could lead to drowning. This review sur- veys the scholarly literature to investigate whether any correlation exists between eating and fatal or non-fatal drowning events and to establish whether it is safe to swim after eating.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
