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 had sinus problems for 2-3 years and I just started swimming in June this year. I have noticed that ever since I started swimming I have had multiple sinus infections. Today my doc told me I have Chronic Sinusitis, just great. I have read some of the posts and I will try some of them. One in particular is the nasal saline before and after swimming. I will see how that works. Thanks. Ellen
