I think the whole not Swimming after eating thing is a myth. Or maybe it's true and I've got mixed up. No it's definitely something that old dead ladies made up. Probably.

Victorian times.

1837-1901 didn't actually happen. We skipped from 1836 straight to 1902, all that stuff in between is made up. They did it just by gradually changing history books and steam powered men in black memory pen eraser things. Unfortunately sunglasses hadn't been invented yet, so even the people doing the memory changing were affected.

 Did the Victorians call 1837-1901...Victorian times.  I only ask because I've not heard anyone call 1952- onwards Elizabethan times.

Not until their memories were changed Reg, as Victorian times didn't really happen.
