It could very well be my nose shape, I can&#39;t avoid getting some water into my sinuses. I also think it could be because in a saline pool, I get lazy about keeping water out of my sinuses (it&#39;s isotonic, and doesn&#39;t hurt at all). Anyways, the infection is clearing up (sinus irrigation ftw), but I&#39;ll invest in a nose clip as others have done.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/146663?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:08:33 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a6726491-14cb-4e6d-89df-48c997df1517Former MemberI&#39;m getting periodic sinus infections, and it is associated with my use of a saline pool. I think it may be because the pool has lower chlorine levels. I never had this trouble with the standard chlorine pool. i had frequent sinus infections for years. chlorinated water was certainly an irritant, but the cause of infection was poor drainage due to a deviated septum among other things. got them fixed... seems to be a non issue now, and i can breathe through both nostrils. with a nose like mine, it was a crime not to.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/146642?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 04 Jul 2010 08:29:42 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:6fd0b97e-ec47-45a1-a38f-8e267fdc0c84Elaine KrugmanI&#39;m getting periodic sinus infections, and it is associated with my use of a saline pool. I think it may be because the pool has lower chlorine levels. I never had this trouble with the standard chlorine pool. Summer can be very difficult for pool maintainers, but I&#39;m curious whether others have had trouble with a low-chlorine, salt-water pools (if they happen to use one). There could be some other cause, of course. I swim in the same type of pool and have not had any problems at all. Good luck; I hope you are able to get them under control!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
