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.

Seriously, I had the same problem when I used to swim at the University pool. I am at a different pool now and I no longer have that problem. I really think that it has to do with the type of chemicals that the pool jockey uses. This must be the case because I find that I no longer REEK of chlorine (just a little smelly)
Another theory that I have is that I actually have fried my sinuses out from excessive pool water exposure. If this is the case, just keep swimming and your symptoms will go away :D
Swim hard
