Swimmer's Sinusitis

Former Member

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 been suffering with the same problem. It started after my pool changed from chlorine to bromine about 6 weeks ago. I went to my doc, and he gave me a script for anti-biotic, thinking I just had a cold. I am going to try the saline spray suggested. How common is bromine as a sanitizing chemical in pools?
