In the last few weeks I've noticed after about 500m of backstroke or more, when I go upright I get REALLY dizzy. No other stroke has this effect. If I do less than 500 or so, there's really not a problem. Anyone ever had this problem? If so, are there remedies? Would using earplugs help?

Also, swimming longer distances with backstroke (and any other stroke for that matter), your breathing patterns my also shift from breathing deep and controlled to shallow breathing (or vice versa). The lack of oxygen, or change in the oxygen level of the body/brain may also cause this dizziness. Just something to think about while you self-diagnose.
