I started swimming about nine months ago. In the beginning, I couldn't stand water getting into and get stuck in my ears, so I started wearing earplugs. I am a much better swimming now. I am able to swim 2 miles w/o breaks with using freestyle. So today, I tried swimming without earplugs. Oh man, I started getting dizzy. The pool was literally spinning. I couldn't swim anymore and had to stop for the day.
Am I the only one experiencing this, or is this a common things amongst swimmer who are used to wearing earplugs? If possible, I want to be able to swim without earplugs in the near future. Do you have any advice? Thanks.
If it turns out you do have Meniere's and are stuck with it, you won't be able to do flip turns without getting seasick. I am only able to do a few before I have to quit, so I gave them up in favor of developing a fast open turn that I am able to do without any trouble.
Magick17, can you provide more information on therapy for Meniere's? I have yet to be able to eliminate the problem completely.
