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?

I always strongly support use of a nose plug whenever this issue comes up. It worked for me and is simple and cheap. 2go+h20 (difficult to type a zero there) is absolutely right about this fix.
What kind of nose plug catches seawead?
I don't get the lack of air complaint, however. Who breathes in through their nose when they swim? It doesn't seem possible to me.
