Motion Sickness during Open Water races

Hello everyone! I am looking for some tips/tricks to prevent motion sickness in choppy waters during open water races. During my last two races I took some dramamine a few hours before the race, but it didn't seem to help and I still threw up 3 times.... I have heard that Ginger extract and/or ear plugs might help. Any suggestions or similar experiences? Thanks!!!

    Thanks Mike! I get sea sick in both! Salt water during a swim in Cancun (after throwing up, I still felt sea sick) and fresh water during a swim in Canada (water was colder like you mentioned). I will take aspirin and ginger before the race and see how it goes! Thank you!
