This myth dates half a century back when the American Red Cross has published an instruction on life-saving saying that swimming immediately after meal may cause stomach cramps and even death. But later this theory was questioned. Many swimmers assert that they usually cover long distances during training sessions immediately after meal.
这个误区源于半世纪前美国红十字协会印制的一本救生指南，上面说进食后马上游泳会造成胃痉挛甚至死亡。但是后来这个说法遭到质疑，很多游泳运动员声称他们在训练期间经常饭后马上进行长距离游泳。
