Lately I am swimming at 2 different pools. I am a late blooming, 45yo, fitness swimmer. I am up to doing about 3800 yds per workout. I find that I often have a very runny nose and sneezing fits that can last the entire day. I will take benedryl but it only seems to help a bit. I have tried to pay attention and think that one of the pools may be causing much more of a problem than the other.
As an experiment I tried takign a single benedryl (sp?) about a half hour before swimming. THis seems to be helping. So am I alergic to the water?
Is this common and what other suggestions if any?

As a sufferer of horrifying allergy attacks, I have been able to clear up my problems within 6 months. It takes time. I have not had any issues with swimming in the past 7 months. You must lay off the WHITE FLOUR and DAIRY products and take ACIDOPHOLIS vitamin (probiotic). Amazing what that change can do.
I sneeze every once in a while when the smell of flowers are really close by, but nothing like what i used to go through
