Swimming-induced congestion

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 too, started using flonase for allergies (I pretty much only use it during the spring and summer months when my allergens are abundant). It works very well and has prevented the occasional chlorine up the nose irritation as well. If you don't have other allergies, the nose clip is probably the best way to go.
