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.

Hi Jim,
It was suggested to me a few years ago, to put a thin coating of vaseline around the inside of the nose before entering the pool. I did this and before long I did not have any further problems. The biggest problem I have, is to remember to do this prior to training. Good Luck.
