    It's not recommended to go swimming after having a big meal.

    • You don't have to go swimming after having a big meal.

    • You're not allowed to go swimming after having a big meal.

    Correct Answer
    A. You shouldn't go swimming after having a big meal.
    Explanation
    Swimming after having a big meal is not recommended because it can lead to discomfort, cramping, and even potentially dangerous situations such as drowning. Digestion requires a significant amount of energy, and swimming immediately after a meal can divert blood flow away from the muscles needed for swimming, resulting in muscle cramps. It is best to wait for a couple of hours after eating before engaging in any strenuous physical activity like swimming.
