Sometimes when I swim, I get this tickling sensation in my lower belly. :/

Can anyone tell me what it is, or what it's caused by? Yesterday it happened in PE.

  1. That Sinking Feeling

    "Air time" has a strange effect on your body because your body is not completely solid -- it is composed of many loosely connected parts. When your body is accelerated, each part of your body is accelerated individually. The seat pushes on your back, the muscles in your back push on some organs and those organs push on other organs. This is why you feel the ride with your whole body. Everything inside is being pushed around.

    Normally, all the parts of your body are pushing on each other because of the constant force of gravity. But in the "free-fall" state of plummeting down a hill, there is hardly any net force acting on you. In this case, the various pieces of your body are not pushing on each other as much. They are all, essentially, weightless, each falling individually inside your body. This is what gives you that unique sinking feeling in your stomach -- your stomach is suddenly very light because there is less force pushing on it. The same thing happens when you drive down a dip in the road in your car or descend in an elevator moving at high speed.


  2. Perhaps it's gas.

  3. Check your pool mate!,,,maybe theres some kind of fish playing some fishing stuff with your:)

  4. You swallowed a fish


  5. It is probably just tine air bubbles going across your lower belly as you swim..when you swim your arms cause air bubbles all around you as they splash the water.

      Nothing to worry about  

  6. Are you sure it's not Abdominal Cramps??

  7. that happens to me just stop swimming for a second and go under water when it happens in the pool...it has never happened to me in pe
