One of the simplest tools for improving your swimming may be a nose clip.

If you’ve ever had water go up your nose, you know how uncomfortable it is.  One of the most frequent places that water goes up the nose is during the flip turn.  Our swimmer pays particular attention to blowing out through the nose during her turn.

But if she had a nose clip on, she could save that oxygen for a better push off, AND protect her nose from water.

If you have to blow air out of your nose when pushing off on your back, you’ll discover a whole new dimension to swimming when you put on a nose clip.  Holding on to your air and protecting the nose is a fantastic combination.

To put on a nose clip effectively, position the clip toward the top or middle of your nose and slide it down over the nostrils.  

Many people find that by using the nose clip in combination with a snorkel, it also makes it more enjoyable and takes the focus off have water go up the nose.
