I swam regularly (3-4 x/week) for approximately 5 years and had laid off for the past 7 months. Thankfully I'm back in the pool again. I am relatively healthy and have missed almost no work. However, whenever I get out of the pool I have cold symptoms--congestion, running nose, sneezing, etc. I know I probably swallow my share of water, and I've learned to live with these nuisances, but are these symptoms common for others?

This is outstanding advice. The flip turn theory makes a lot of sense. I woke up last night with terrible congestion and decided I don't care what I look like, Friday morning I'm trying the nose plug. The cold symptoms still haven't subsided since Wednesday's swim and I enjoy swimming too much to be hampered by a runny (not running as posted) nose and congestion.
I'll keep you posted.
