Swimmer's Sinusitis

Every time I start back swimming, I get sinusitis. I can lay off of swimming for about a month and it clears up. There appears to be some research to indicate that this happens to some people, but I cannot find any indication that there is anything that can be done to stop it. I will have to stop swimming altogether if I cannot find a way to control this. I have tried nose clips, but I still get infected sinuses. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution that worked for them?

  • I have heard many people find relief by spraying their nose with saline after they swim. The saline "rinses" the chlorine out of their sinuses decreasing the irritation. Its a cheap remedy worth trying! There is a brand called"ocean" that is in most drug stores. Good luck! ;)
