Is there a good swiming nose clip designed for African Americans?

Question

Okay, so I started swimming as a hobby and I really like it. The problem is that I need a nose clip but all the designs assume you have a narrow white nose. When I try these I can't get a secure fit and it just pops off when swimming. I need one for my broad African American nose. Are there any nose clips or plugs that just plug the nostrils? or are designed for blacks?

Answer 1

I don't have first hand experience with nose clips. Do any of these look like they would work better?

You can also try calling Kiefer and asking for a recommendation.

As a long-time swimmer, my recommendation is to learn to swim without one. Good luck in your swimming!

Answer 2

dont use a nose clip!! it will mess up ypur breathinhg pattern.

Answer 3

This issue you're experiencing is one that many people of all races and noses experience.  Nose clips are notoriously tricky to use and many are of cheap design/construction.  I've had good experiences with all of the one's that Kiefer's Aquatics sells.

The other option is to learn how to swim without a nose plug.  The trick is to constantly blow out through your nose and only breath in through your mouth.  After a few weeks you won't even have to think about it.

Answer 4

i would learn to swim without one because if you swim more it will just get annoying.

the more you swim the more you  will learn to swim without one.

its not that hard just takes time to get used to

Answer 5

Why does it have to be racial?

Why can't you just ask, "I need nose clips for people with wide nostrils?"
