face burns after swim

When I swim for a hour or more, my face starts to burn about 10-15 min after I get out and keeps burning for about an half hour. It feels hot to the touch, like a moderate sunburn. The rest of my skin gets a bit red but my face down right hurts. I tried face wash which didn't help and lotion which made it worse. Anyone else have this problem? Ideas to fix it? thanks

  • Bring the burning issue to the pool manager! One time during lap swim the chemistry was really out of whack. It left a dry puckery feeling in my mouth. The pool manager and head lifeguard were guarding at the time and when I mentioned this to them they looked at me like I was nuts. And denied that there was a problem. It also left my skin really itchy and turned my black suit an ugly greenish grey. When swim team came in later that day, they told the coach there had been a problem and that they were trying to get it back into acceptable range. Gotta love management!
