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.

Breath rite nasal strips for the times after swimming(like at night when you are most likely to notice the nasal stuffiness)have worked well for me. Also greatly decreases snoring which has contributed greatly to my wife's improved dispostion.;) This product has no side effects, no downside other than the possible slight superficial skin redness when you first remove it in the morning. I personally highly recommend this very simple and very effective product. I don't have any congestion problems while swimming or I would probably wear one in the pool also. IMHO. Am also a believer in using nose plugs and I don't care what I look like as long as I can swim regularly.Good luck.
