I've started swimming recently. I swim 3-4 days a week, and I'm enjoying it very much. I am experiencing one problem, however, that I would like to overcome if possible. Typically after swimming, my nose gets very stuffy, and this can last for as long as a day or two. It can be pretty uncomfortable, and others notice it when I speak. It's especially bad if I do a lot of backstroke or otherwise get a few good splashes up my nose.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, especially from fellow sufferers.

I sometimes experience this problem. My guess is that it's because of irritation from chlorine. What usually works for me is a simple unmedicated saline spray right after swimming. (Since it's unmedicated you can use it as often as need to, without concern over the rebound effects from medicated sprays.)
