Hey all, since everyone here has been swimming for at least as long as me, and probably WAY more than me also in some cases, I have a question for you guys:
How is your sense of smell?
I personally feel like mine is HORRIBLE and I blame it on inhaling chlorine for all the years I've swam. The only scent I can really smell is the overwhelming smell of an indoor pool.

My smelling is effected when i swim. I usually also get sinus infection when i swim as well.. The doctor told me that he thought i may be allergic to chlorine. :dunno:
but most swimmers i know have no noticable nose/sinus related conditions
I guess I'm just weird then. :cool:
I am like you in that I used to get sinus infections when I swam when I was younger, those are the worst. I was just always congested. Now that I'm back in the water after taking some time off, I already have the sniffles.
Our poor noses and the horror we put them through! :laugh2:
