https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/open-water-training-and-technique/24921/cold-water-nose-issuesI swim open water often and now have a nose issue. The inside of my nose swells from the cold water and I am stuffy for hours afterwards. Does anyone have experience with this? I am trying nose plugs but feel as they are constricting. Any advice?

(Tried all kinds of meds but they weren&#39;t very helpful and disturbed my sleep.) I now use a sychro or similar nose clip. It took me two weeks to get used to it. No more problem.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
