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?

The comments in this thread are also familiar to me. I have been swimming at the same pool for a couple of years on on the last six occassions I have had really bad congestion during the night following my swim. I suspect the pool has changed its chemicals or I have developed an allergy. I plan to change pools this weekend and see if the problem recurs.
