https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/11853/new-pool-gave-me-vicious-sinus-infectionI&#39;m home sick and a very unhappy camper. Living in the North East, we suffer through our brutal winters waiting for 3 months of summer. Most of June was a wash due to bad weather. Two weeks into July and I got a wallup of a sinus infection.

II don&#39;t think it&#39;s the chlorine.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/191510?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 19 Jul 2014 12:14:17 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1d267f51-75b9-40b0-960a-3a5b4a562afdFormer MemberA possibility that just occurred to me is that what seemed to be a sinus infection might&#39;ve actually been extreme irritation be due to too much chlorine (as opposed to too little, leading to too many infection-causing nasties in the water). If I remember correctly, that pool seemed to cause more eye irritation as well, which is usually a result of high chlorine levels. Interesting point, Greg, since I&#39;ve noticed that I reek of chlorine and there&#39;s a white film on my very tan arms even after I&#39;ve rinsed down after my swim. I never noticed that before in the other pools I swam in.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/191412?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:37:55 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5cbd541a-fc6b-4c27-bdfe-273c6c5c27a3Former MemberGreg, I wear also nose plugs, but you&#39;re experience sounds like mine. Michael, do you think they will tell me that the levels are off?:D<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/191476?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:07:29 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1df45a97-af6a-4a3a-8556-82e2d1e5f416Rob CopelandMichael, do you think they will tell me that the levels are off?:DThey probably won’t say if the levels are on or off. But they should be willing to let you look at their log book where they record the testing results. If they won’t, then you can always bring your own test kit.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/191397?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:06:10 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e5edb303-76b3-4a8c-96d2-09185d260b5dGregJSA couple summers ago, when my usual pool closed for two weeks and I had to switch to another, my nose went crazy. It was really bad. Nose plugs helped some. But as soon as I went back to my usual pool, the problem went away. So the problem could very well be your new pool. I never figured out if it was the chlorine or something else though. (Neither pool looked any cleaner/dirtier than the other.) Hope you find a way to resolve the issue.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/191493?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 18 Jul 2014 11:46:50 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:11920b9c-ef10-4ef9-9cd5-4d8e6e0b8197GregJSA possibility that just occurred to me is that what seemed to be a sinus infection might&#39;ve actually been extreme irritation be due to too much chlorine (as opposed to too little, leading to too many infection-causing nasties in the water).
