WAIT ONE HOUR AFTER EATING BEFORE GOING SWIMMING.
OR YOU WILL SINK.

Submitter comment: WE HAD A POOL INSTALLED IN OUR BACKYARD IN THE EARLY 1970'S
MY MOTHER WOULD TELL US THAT, WHEN WE WOULD WANT TO GO
SWIMMING AFTER LUNCH OR DINNER. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT SHE
TOLD US THAT, BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO RELAX AND NOT HAVE TO
WATCH US SWIM IN THE POOL.
