... well not literally. But I have been attending a tri club's swimming sessions for the last three weeks, where I am rather unusuccessfully trying to improve my pathetic crawl. I'm not used to putting my face in the water so much, and every week so far have come home and ended up with really blocked sinuses. Last night was unbearable as I got about two-three hours sleep. I am wondering if this happens to anyone else, or whether I am having a slightly allergic reaction to the chlorine. It feels like rhinitis/sinusitis to me. I am panicking a bit as I really want to keep this up and get to a reasonable (note I didn't say good!) level of swimming, but I don't think I can do it if I have this reaction every time. Has anyone tried nose clips, and do they help? Or is it just that my breathing technique is crap (highly likely!)
