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?

ear plugs would keep water from getting into the outter ear. But who knows maybe that water is some how causing the imbalance.
There are three semi circular cannels in the inner ear that are filled with fluid. If I'm remembering correctly, this fluid can, and should, shift around. The shifting sends signals to the brain about body position and helps with balance. If off it might cause dizziness.
I'm with the rest of the folks here, because it has come on so suddendly I'd mention it to my doc.
