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 appreciate all the input on the runny (not running) nose issue. I started using a nose plug a few weeks ago and it really seems to cut down on the irritation. The breathing is taking a little getting used to (especially toward the end of the work outs) but not having to wipe my nose all day after a swim is a nice trade off.
Thanks again. Time to post my next ailment.
