Thank you SO MUCH for discussing this. I have been working on the front crawl and breathing correctly for a month or so. I usually get some water in my nose and it is frustrating. I do use a nose clip when I use my snorkel, so now I will use it while I learn my breathing techniques for this too. I hadn't used it for this because I watched videos that said you should be exhaling through your nose and that's impossible with the news clip. However, after seeing the videos of professional swimmers using nose clips I don't worry about using it myself. Also, I loved that you said we may feel we look ridiculous with the goggles and the cap! I certainly felt that way when I first started trying to swim laps. LOL now I don't care I'm just hoping, eventually, to get the breathing down.

Don't use noseclips! Hear me out: breathing out, under water, through your nose (vs mouth) is much easier and more natural than being forced to breathe out of your mouth. Because with these nose clips you can't breathe out through your nose anymore, duh! So work through and develop the technique and natural reflex which you need so that this become normal to you, it's worth the effort in the long run! And you will develop this habit naturally by just swimming, it just takes a little time; ) If you are a competitive swimmer like the pro's in the videos, you might have your reasons to use these clips like it is said in the video, sure. But all these pro's shown in the video can swim e. g. freestyle without any noseclips without (nearly) any water in their noses.

When I'm face-up underwater water slips on my throat through my nose DESPITE the fact that I'm constantly blowing bubbles. I need to blow them really hard to avoid getting water in my nose. I am not beginner, it's been this way from the beginning. This is ridiculous because I see a lot of swimmers barely even blowing only little bubbles yet their nose doesn't get flooded face-up. Moreover, at least 70 people (most of them don't even swim regurarly and have never been swimmers) who I asked can do the face-up nose equalization underwater (pushing just enough air not to let water in, but not to release bubbles either) and guess what, they either didn't have to practice this, or learnt it in a day or two.
Why am I a genetic garbage?

I wouldn't call myself a really skilled swimmer but water in my nose has never bothered me and it's not painful at all, i don't even feel it when doing backstroke underwaters.
But every time when i hit the wardrobe after, i start sneezing like crazy, and my nose gets absolutely completely blocked.
I have a blocked nose like 90% of the time and sometimes it develops into sinusitis and then pneumonia: (
Should i consider getting nose clips in times of having a chronically blocked nose?

Thank you for bringing this up! A lot of trainers have a dismissive approach to using nose clip, saying that swimmers should learn to get rid of the water by exhaling through the nose at all times. But I find that in certain head positions (side breathing / flipping attempts, water get in and hurt no mater how hard I try to counter them with blowing bubbles through the nose. I think that any solution to make front crawl drills more effective and less painful, is absolutely welcome. Great video!

Thank you for yet another helpful, informative video. I use the nose clip when practicing, it does help. I buy the cheapest ones I can find because like you said it really doesn't matter, I would love to get one of those swimcaps, will have to check out the website. I know I always harp on practice but I find as I become a more seasoned swimmer and if I keep up with practice(lap swims etc) the water in my nose becomes less frequent, man do I hate when it does happen!

I didn't swim for years, even when on the beach I don't really go to deep zones. Now I'm trying to re learn because here is so cold to cycling (my number 1 sport) but I find myself with water entering from not only the nose just by standing still and facing down, but also some water entering from the ear canal. It's irritating and I get out of air all the time!

When I go under I have tried to blowed out before and when going underwater but it still gets in my nose. I have also tried not breathing at all but it still goes up. However I can plug my nose and underwater I can unplug it and its perfectly fine. HELP I just want to swim without plugging my nose at all

I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack after 25m freestyle and need like 40secs to get my heart rate back. I'm hearing that the way to avoid this is by exhaling through the nose because in that case I actually have less CO2 in my lungs. Do you have any comment on this issue?

When I started freestyle swimming I breathed out very fast, in a panic mode not to have water enter my nose. Then I figured how little air is needed to prevent water from entering your mouth actually. It's a lot easier now.
How do you breathe while turning though? Thanks
