I cant go under water without plugging my nose

Question

i have a problem. i cant go under water for very long without plugging my nose. does anyone have tips on not plugging your nose? HELP!!

Answer 1

well why are you going underwater?

this makes a difference

Answer 2

When going underwater, your nose is an active part of swimming. I assume you can already blow bubbles with your mouth, instead of doing that channel the air out of your nose. The pressure you create will keep the water out. It will feel like blowing your nose into a tissue.

Answer 3

Best thing to do is just simply don't do it, it's not like you'll get water in your nose. Don't breathe when you're underwater without a snorkel.

If you still have an urge, put your hands behind your back before you jump in.

Answer 4

yes i am agree, It will feel like blowing your nose into a tissue.

Answer 5

Its very easy. Blow small bubbles out of your nose and air wont get in.  Practice a few times and you will see it will work.

Answer 6

Try a nose plug. You can buy one at a drug store for only a few dollars. The only problem is that it looks ridiculous.

You could also try blowing bubbles out of your nose while you're underwater so you won't get water up your nose.
