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?

Get the nose clip. It solved the problem for me right away. I sneezed for more than a year. It was really disconcerting. I would have these non-stop sneezing fits in the evening after my afternoon swim. I never tried any medication but the minute I tried the nose clip, the problem went away. It will be unfamiliar and perhaps uncomfortable at first, but you soon get used to it.
