"If you ship does not come in, swim out to meet it." - Jonathan Winters, Actor and Comedian
If you are at all serious about doing well as a triathlete, you have to practice swimming, running and biking under race type conditions.
That means swimming in open water in a lake, ocean or the case here in the Midwest, one of the Great Lakes.
I swim as part of a training group every Monday night at an inland lake in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. I've heard several athletes complain about being congested after the swim. I also had a slight case of my sinuses being blocked.
I did not think much about it until I did the Age Group National Sprint Championship in Milwaukee last August. The swim course was in Lake Michigan in the harbor here in Milwaukee. I did the practice swim on Friday afternoon and the sprint race on Sunday morning.
By Sunday evening, my sinuses were so stuffed up it was uncomfortable. It was a little tough to breath and I had a bad sinus headache. I asked my coach what to do about it and she recommended this product; Sovereign Silver. Sovereign Silver Immune Support is made by Natural Immunogenics. It a solution of Silver Hydrosol. It comes in a mister bottle. It contains charged silver particles.
To use it, I spray a bit in each nostril before and after I swim. I no longer get any congestion from swimming. I am still swimming in inland lakes. I also did the Chicago Triathlon last August with no problem. I would not swim without it in open water.
It is available on Amazon. A 2.7 ounce bottle retails for $13.00.
I've seen discussion on Amazon about using this for skin conditions and cuts as well.
