i just finished swimming lessons, and whenever i get out of the pool my eyes are all red, and they itch. on certain days, however like last night, my eyes got red and swollen, and hurt so much they made me cry. i also get really stuffed up after swimming, and now i have one of those choking coughs, and my chest is really sore. i want it to stop, is there anything that i can do? i am 14 yrs old, and in really good shape

i agree, you need to see a doc quick....
but the eyes turning red iisn't an allergy..being a swimmer ive had the problem,it just shows excess chlorine in the pool..and they burn like crazy for a while...thats just excess chlorine in the water....but about the coughs and the chest being sore, im not sure
YOU NEED TO SEE A DOC ASAP! pls take care of urself!

It could be allergy. You need to see a doctor to be sure. You may have to avoid chlorine. I am allergic to chlorine too. It makes me sneeze and my eyes red. It is like severe hayfever and it lasts for 12 hours after I get out of the water. I take an antihistimine for it.
