i get dizzy when doing flip turns.
i've been taking ginger supplements (supposed to help w/ motion sickness) but it has not helped.
any suggestions? forgo freestyle?

thanks for the responses.
yes, having had seasonal allergies for.. well basically forever (although they are less now) i've always had issues w/ my eustachian tubes being able to equalize pressure in my inner ears (makes scuba diving difficult). I thought that may be related to equilibrium problems, its nice to hear of a medical opinion in support of that theory. I have a good place to start.. thanks.
always have done flips w/ eyes open although my focus tends to wander all over the place (getting bored w/ the blue line?). I will try experimenting w/ eyes open/closed, but i suspect that may lead to greater dizzyness. (i seem to recall a blurb on this several mo. back in USMS Swimmer Magazine)
