No you can't. That is an urban myth. You can not get a cramp from eating before swimming.

How long do i have to wait to. have a bath. after food?
You don't need to wait to have a bath. The old saw "you should wait half an hour after eating before getting in the water" applies specifically to swimming, not to simply sitting in a tub of water. The reason for it is that eating causes your body to redirect blood from the extremities (your arms and legs) to the stomach and digestive system, and if you attempt to exercise, your muscles might cramp due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. That's not good if you're just exercising in general, but it's particularly bad if you're swimming, because in that case you might drown. If you're just sitting in a bath, though, you're not really using your muscles much, so it's unlikely that they'll cramp and you probably wouldn't drown even if they did.
