I am a beginner swimmer training in a community outdoor pool which utilizes salt as a sanitizer. After swimming I shower well with soap and within an hour I experience severe hay fever like symptoms. I dose myself with antihistimines and relief is slow to occur. Should I start a daily regimine of antihistimines to maintain a working level in my body? Are there more effective ways of avoiding the hay fever effects? Are nose clips an option?
