What do you do to keep your mouth from getting sore/pickled from longer ocean swims. The first hour of so is okay but after 3 my mouth is gettign very sore and stays that way for a few days. I think its from salt water getting in when I breathe. I'm now recovering from a 6 mile swim-my mouth is the only hting that hurts, and contemplating a 10mile swim and I need HELP so my mouth can make it! I was drinking water/sports drink every 20-30 minutes although i don;t always have that opportunity.
Thanks!

"the fish really like that minty fresh smell." maybe it will convince the sharks I'm not a fish? THis is my reasoning for using the watermelon scented sunscreen.
WOuldn't the mouthwash further irritate my poor mouth? Its not the taste of the water but that my mouth and tounge get so sore and pickled feeling. Well afterwards its the taste too.
