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.

Chlorine isn't an allergen because it has no protein. What is an allergen is the byproduct produced by urine and chlorine mixing. So the pool could possible have a water filtration system or a chlorination system that isn't working.
A very likely possibility is that you aren't doing your turn quickly enough. Many tend to believe this to be more the cause than a pool problem. i have this problem. A nose clip has solved it.
