Any tips on not plugging my nose underwater?

Question

Hey all, whenever i try to swim sometimes water goes up my nose. i try to breathe out of my nose and that works, but it is not enough.. i run out of breath faster that way. any tips on getting my nose "used" to the water?

Answer 1

the reason water doesnt get in your nose is because of the air that stays in your nostrils. If you point your nostrils upward, the air gets out, and the water gets in....

There is no way to condition your nose to water...Get a nose plug, for that.

Answer 2

Blowing bubbles out your nose while your underwater will prevent water from going up it.  That's usually the reason while people plug their nose.  You don't have to blow out really fast which could be the reason why you're running out of air so fast.  

Each time you go underwater try blowing less and less bubbles until you feel comfortable not blowing any at all.  You will have to get used to the fact of eventually getting water in your nose once in a while but that all comes with time.

Good luck ^^

Answer 3

dont just jump in to the water, go for a more streamline dive, it water kindof avoids the nose that way. if you are doing like syncronized swimming, buy a nose plug, but i get the feeling thats not what you are doing, try to stay stream line, and dont breath through your nose, always breath through your mouth when you come up for air.
