Motion sickness while swimming freestyle

I've only encountered this in OWS, but ear-plugs have helped a lot.

my BF has the same problem. I'd be interested to know what people know about this. I heard a woman a tri i did last fall talking about dramamine pre-race, because of the same issue.

I asked a similar question http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... and got responses from ear plugs to something called sea bands. I going to try both and see if that helps.

I used to get mild motion sickness.  First I tried drinking peppermint oil diluted in water (purchase at Whole Foods, a suggestion from Betsy), but then I figured out I was eating too close to the swim.  Now, I give myself a good two hours from eating until the swim.  And, I make sure to hydrate (befor hand, not IN the pool! although, that's a given  ).
