Learning to swim can be frustrating at times, with one of the more frustrating experiences being water getting up your nose and making breathing impossible. Luckily there are ways to prevent this from happening! Let me show you how:
Tip 1: Before tipping your head backward and immersing it in water, take several long, slow breaths through both nostrils. Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth before tilting back your head back and immersing it completely into it.
First and foremost when entering a pool or ocean, take a deep breath through your nose and hold it for at least 8 seconds. Once this breath has been held for an extended period of time (at least 8), tilt back your head and submerge yourself underwater without exhaling or inhaling (known as holding or “holding”): less time between breaths equals less chance for water entering through inhalation.
Next, slowly exhale through your mouth while keeping most of the air inside yourself. Repeat this until all the air has been expelled–this will ensure any extra moisture on either side of your nostrils doesn’t enter while submerged underwater!
Tip 2: Tilt Your Head Away When Submerging it.

For an effective underwater experience, tilting your head to one side while submerging is key in order to submerge only one nostril at a time and reduce any chance of water coming up your nose.
Submerging can also be accomplished by tilting your head forwards; however, this increases the risk of water coming up your nose; therefore, only attempt this if you feel certain you can keep all the liquid out.
Tip 3: Hold Your Nose With One Hand to Prevent Water From Entering
A straightforward strategy that will keep the nose clear is to hold it with one hand while using the other for whatever purposes that may arise – as long as they don’t block or restrain it in any way. Don’t fret over what your other hand does as long as they’re not holding anything against you such as closing or clamping closed your nostrils, for instance.
Tip 4: Practice is Key!
In order to prevent water up the nose, practice is key. Do it in the shower, practice with someone willing to assist and even consider going swimming!
One of the more difficult parts of snorkeling is breathing through your mouth while maintaining an upper-body position in water. While practicing in shallow bodies (like pools or beaches) may make this easier, practicing underwater will become second nature after you spend enough time under sea! By practicing at first in pools or other shallow bodies of water ( like beaches) can become second nature when diving deep beneath sea water!
Breathing Techniques for Beginners in Swimming.

Deep breathing is often an effective solution to prevent water accumulation in the nose.
Take a deep breath in and then exhale. Make sure that you’re actually taking in air instead of just sucking up liquid!
Hold your head underwater for several seconds (roughly 10), at first gradually increasing in duration until it feels natural and comfortable – this may take practice before becoming second nature! Once it becomes the habit, however, the technique will come naturally and quickly!
Step Two (optional): It may be beneficial to keep one hand tightly over your nose as you perform this step to help avoid inhaled material from entering. Swimming Breathing Drills
Breathing drills are designed to help swimmers breathe more efficiently while swimming, leading to improved performance in the pool.
By practicing these drills regularly and including them into your workout regime, you will be able to increase your endurance and streamline your stroke.
No matter your level of competition experience or beginner status, breathing drills can prove useful for all swimmers.
Nose Plugs and Nose Clips
Two options for keeping water out of your nose when diving are nose plugs and clips.
Nose plugs are often composed of silicone, which is used to produce products like breast implants and pacifiers. Nose plugs come in various shapes, sizes and colors while plastic nose clips can also be found making everything from toys to toothbrushes (and occasionally even the occasional pacifier!).
Nose plugs work by closing off your nostrils to prevent water from getting inside; nose clips work similarly by pushing together the sides of your nostrils in order to block off water entry as well. Both products can be found at most swim shops or online retailers such as Amazon.
Before diving underwater, taking a deep breath is an easy way to prevent getting water up the nose.

Conclusion With any luck, this article has provided some ideas on how to prevent having water up your nose as a new swimmer. Swimming can be one of the greatest sports ever created; however, if it becomes stressful when worrying about getting it up there. We’ve all been there!
