Pool water allergy?

The last few days after swimming my nose often feels like it has allergic reaction from the swims. It's runny and sometimes triggers sneezes, feels just like pollen allergies. Today all day, and I thought please let it not be swine flu :eek:. By now I'm sure it's not swine flu and it's from the swims. Has anyone experienced the same? The pool uses ozone, and a little chlorine.

    I first developed a sinus problem at the Y with a history of CL control problems. However, after a period of years, I noticed swimming in the ocean or a very clean fresh water lake triggered the same sinus EXPLOSION...sorry to say it makes me gag. I had to quit swimming. :0( :0( :0( I do have mild allergies to tree pollen, dust mites, etc. But I think I developed vasomotor rhinitis...a sinus explosion caused by environmental stimulus including water/swimming, temperature changes tobacco smoke, etc.] I take claritin and singular...doesn't help this problem a bit. :0( Getting older and fatter...:badday:
