Does anyone else get sneezing fits, a blocked nose and a terrible night's sleep after training in the local pool? I tried several makes of nose clips but couldn't get on with them and although I do have a 'proper' crawl stroke i.e breathe out through the nose all the time my face is underwater, I still got inflamed sinuses.
Top tip from one of the swimmer's forums - grease the inside of each nostril thoroughly with Vaseline before you hit the water. This hugely reduces the area through which the chlorine is absorbed and at least for my 60-90 minute sessions is a complete cure. Result!
