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 had a sinus infection two weeks before the senior Olympics, took an antibiotic that helped. Worked out only 2,300 yards that week and only 3,000 the next week because of bad weather, swim a senior Olympics 50 yard and 100 yard breaststroke and did ok.
