love swimming but each time i go home after swim, I have runny nose and it is clogged-can't breathee. Tried clear water spray-no help. When i don't swim on Sunday my nose is ok. I suspect i'm alergic to chemicals in pool. Anynone has similar reaction? Do you take any medications? do you have to take everytime you go for a swim? is there a way to get out of this problem?
I have sheduled visit to a doctor next week-this issue must me solved, cause i ain't quitting swimming.
Thanks for info

in my career there are only a few pools that game me similar problems. If i showered in the locker room after the practice, i was fine, but if i just went home afterwords i was miserable all day.. Dunno if ur pool has locker rooms, but i would utilize the shower, and try to get as much of the chemicals out of ur skin and hair before u leave. If not, the best thing you can do is either use a sink or a hose at the pool and shower right when u get home. Bottom line if ur allergic to chemicals in the pool, and your letting them dry into ur hair and skin, ur gonna have allergic reactions all day
