Answer 1

i need 2 pinch my nose 1st & then after that, i try 2 hold my breath.... but i dnt succeed most of d tym

Answer 2

If your going to pinch your nose, you'll have a hard time swimming. If your going to hold your breath, your body will float back to the top of the water.

Answer 3

I rather use nose plugs, or when I think I'm going to get water in my nose, breathe out through the nose.

Answer 4

I hold my breath, most girls are probably afraid of getting water in their noses

Answer 5

Yeah, it's because they're afraid of getting water in their nose. i sometimes do that when the distance between the board and pool is long but if it's just a jump from the poolside, i dont hold my nose since i can just exhale when i jump to keep water out.

Answer 6

I still hold my nose and I'm twenty. Well, I wear those goggles that cover your nose now. I would look stupid if I still held my nose! I think it because I'm afraid of getting water up my nose. It's from a bad childhood experience. Yikes.

Answer 7

I always pinch my nose lol, it's habit I guess. A lot of girls do it lol. :) Whenever I did happen to get water in my nose, it burned!

Answer 8

I can just hold my breath...although when I jump in doing a flip, I usually need to pinch my nose.

Answer 9

I get water up my nose easily. Most of the time I just blow air out of my nose to prevent this.

Answer 10

Just hold my breath.

The water only going up your nose if you breathe in... which i have done a few times lol
