how do you swim without getting water in your nose?

Question

and don't say use my left hand, index finger and thumb, cause if i do that, i won't be able to learn to swim, and i'll drown

Answer 1

Breathe out through your nose very slightly whenever it's in the water. Takes a little practice, but soon you'll be automatically keeping "positive air pressure" in your nose any time water threatens to enter.

Answer 2

A recent innovation in technology has developed a miracle cure for your ailment - go to your local Wal-mart and pick up some nose plugs. However, if nose plugs are not available. The old fashion left hand index finger and thumb over the nostrils works pretty well.

Answer 3

There are plastic clips which go over your nostrils. They are held on my a strap (elastic like a rubber band) which goes around your whole head. Synchronized swimmers use them. They are at sporting goods stores.
The other thing to do is tach yourself not to inhale while underwater. If you slowly exhale with your mounth closed the air will keep the water from coming in.

Answer 4

Swimmers swim by blowing air out their noses. It takes some practice, but after awhile it becomes like a reflex.

Answer 5

Trick: Open your mouth. Lift your tongue to the roof of your mouth (behind your top front teet behind the ridges) and hold it there. Close your mouth. You will automatically force a little pressure upwards and it seems to keep water out of the nose.

Answer 6

Blow it out your nose. Keeping some airpressure on your nose keeps/gets the water out.

Answer 7

Don't breath in, instead, breath air out of your nose to make bubbles.
