If I get out of the water too soon after I stop swimming, I feel a little dizzy and get a slight headache/stomachache. It always goes away in a few minutes. If I wait at least 5 minutes before getting out of the pool, I'm fine. This only happens in/during practice, never after races. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a something I can do to stop it?

This has happened to me before but never on a regular basis. Usually it's when I have a lot of water in my ears and it starts going deeper. The extra time probably allows the extra water to drain out. The only suggestion I would have would be to try and get the water of your ears before you get out...shaking your head and what not. Or try some of those ear drying drops that you can get at Target etc... They help break the surface tension and allow water in your inner ear to drain.
Just my theory......
