    Hi!
    Just wondering if anyone out there has the same problem with chlorine pools.
    For at least a couple of days after a swimming session my nose is blocked
    and it feels like i have a nasty head cold. What can i do? Being in the
    south of australia its to cold to swim at the beach!
    And advice would be great!
    Thanks.

    Try finding an outdoor pool. The indoor ones tend to have higher water
    temp (for the people just standing around) and because of the higher
    temp they have more chlorine to kill all the nasties in the water. If
    south of Australia (not South Australia??) means Melbourne, I swim at
    Doncaster where they have the outdoor pool open all year (a lot of the
    outdoor pools close durign winter). Water temp is still around 26degrees
    (Celsius that is) but I get soem cold days or nights with the pool to
    myself. I feel like [censored] after swimming in the indoor pool especially
    with all that chlorine in my eyes, but feel great after an outdoor session.
