I can relate. Swimming five days a week and fingerpicking was not a happy marriage. I stopped swimming (and started rowing) a year ago and my nails have made a dramatic recovery. Right now they are the best they've ever been. I can actually watch carefully how they engage the strings and trim them accordingly

The solution I found while struggling with my waterlogged nails was TipTonic fingernail picks. I have reviewed them on this site. They are wonderful; it takes about 30 minutes to adjust to them the first time, they feel so natural.
