I can't smell!

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.

    Even though my nose is always stuffed up and I am a mouth-breather, my sense of smell is pretty good. Used to be that while swimming freestyle during warmup I could smell alcohol and it would be our beloved former coach walking past the fresh air intake vents outside on his way into the natatorium. Our pool is basement-level and 50m long, pretty good distance.
