getting seasick

What time of the day do you swim? Do you swim at the same time everyday?
I was getting sick at my stomach when I first started because I would swim early in the morning and my sugar levels were to low. I found that if I drank a cup of juice before I went swimming this helped. Another possibility is that you are not getting good breaths when you swim and this could be causing you to feel dizzy, but I don't know if that would cause you to feel nauseous. If you keep having problems, you might want to go to your general physician and make sure it is not a sign of some other problem.

Thanks, I'll try your advice and I'll try breathing better. I've talked with my physician and he says I'm fine, no heart or respiratory problems. I tend to get very motion sick in a car, boat, etc. Believe it or not I spent 12 years in the Navy on submarines, (I puked a lot). I usually swim at lunch time but I'll try the juice.

You might try taking an over the counter product for motion sickness. If it sits on your stomach and you don't get sick, it might not be a bad idea to try.

Good luck and Still Tri'n,

It appears what I'm suffering from is allergies. I tend to have sinus problems during the pollen flows and I think that's what causing the problem. I don't have much dizziness in the morning or evenings when the air is heavy, so I'm swimming at those times and its much better.

Glad to hear you figured it out.
