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 hate that anyone suffers from this, but am glad I'm not alone. For me I am pretty convinced the particular facility where my team swims is the culprit - it's terribly stuffy in there and has poor circulation. Even with a nose plug and not doing flip turns I was having problems. When I swim at a different pool I seem to be ok. I hope you find relief!
