Question

Answer 1

Try practicing by humming and going under water. When you hum, you force air through your nose, not your mouth. The air coming out your nose doesn't allow the water in. Gradually stop humming and you'll get the feeling of balance between the air in your nose and the water pressure. it takes a few tries but eventually you'll get it. Also work on blowing bubbles out your nose. Keep at it!!!

Answer 2

Take a big breath - blow out slightly from your nose while you go under then stop. This will create a "bubble" of air in the nostril and a natural plug. This works great for diving and swimming underwater as well as just basic submersion. Practice while standing in the shallow end and work your way up to diving under to swim - it should only take a few tries before you have it perfect.

Answer 3

Blow out of your nose as you go underwater (head forward), use a nose pincher, or use goggles that cover your nose, with a snorkel.

Answer 4

I'm a swimmer and a method I use is basically just pressurize your nose cavity with your lungs so that air doesn't escape, but water doesn't enter. If you are face down in the water this is quite easy and can be achieved with practice.

Answer 5

What I do is blow out through my nose so water doesn't come in. Then every few seconds all you have to do is breathe out through your nose, but don't open your mouth.LOL

Answer 6

try holding your breath underwater

Answer 7

Answer 8

Blow out your nose.

Answer 9
