wondered if anyone out there has problems with their stomach after they swim? I went for a two mile swim yesterday and when I was done probably five mins after my stomach hurt so bad I couldnt hardly stand up. I think this has to do with maybe swallowing air or something. Just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced this and what I need to do to fix it!!!

Hey

I think I get the same thing you are talking about, mostly after longer swims. Feels almost like cramping in the stomach, (and I dont know about you but I tend to get gas afterwards)

I find it worse when I swim hard and my breathing is less regular. I have found it helps to make sure I exhale through my nose as my face is under in between breaths. I have no evidence to back this up but I suspect it is due to getting swallowing and breathing lines mixed up and swallowing a bunch of air.

If you find anything that gets rid of this problem let me know, cause its sucks really bad
