Hi all,
First of all, if there's already a thread concerning this issue, I would like to say sorry for opening an already existing topic, but also would like to ask the moderators to link me the topic discussing this, before closing this thread.
The thing I wanna learn is being face-up underwater without having water in my nose but also without releasing a bubble, using breath control. (not nose clips, not my lips, not anything else, I wanna do this with breath control)
I have been practising this a lot now. Yet still can't manage to do it. All my acquaintances who ever tried or practiced it and can do it say that it is easy and they didn't need to practice it for too long. I can do it vertically, btw. So no, before you say, I am not instinctively sucking in water.
What I start to think is that what prevents me from being able to do this is that I have adenoids. Most of the time I can barely breath through one of my nostrils, which makes an unbalance between the 2 nostrils and makes it impossible to even the pressure at the same time in both of them, resulting in flooding my nose in any way. I also realized that I can either blow very little bubbles, or stop my breathing out completely, but between the two, to apply a pressure which is enough to keep water out but not enough to release a bubble, is just impossible for me. There is a gap in the breathing out I cannot acquire. Even if I do, one of my nose gets flooded because of the give unevenity.
What makes me very sad is that all of my acquaintances who ever tried or practised this, could master it easily. I have been suffering with it now for so long.
But my fear is that with adenoid I won't be able to master this. Anyone any experiences on this one?
Any tips, suggestions on how to practice?
Thanks
I came to the biggest swimming forum on the web because I couldn't find PROPER answers anywhere else (Hungarian swimming forums/facebook groups for example). I could find some answers on QUORA or REDDIT, and some people answered me on youtube, but I have never managed to find a coherent, detailed description of this technique that takes into consideration every aspect of it.
I am going to stop posting to this thread, but I can tell you for sure that I do not misinterprete anything, netheir have I delusions about the existence of this technique, because it exists, period. I can see it IRL with my own eyes... You CAN equalize water pressure with air pressure in the nasal passages, even if you never tried or never wanted to do it, and if you read the comments below the youtube videos I posted, it'll turn out for you really fast what I'm talking about. A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN DO IT, whether you like it or not. If you watch, even Ryan Lochte isn't constantly blowing out bubbles on his back, there are periods when there are no bubbles coming out, you can hate me but it can be seen in the video. In those periods he is doing exactly the same thing I'm describing, as I'm sure we agree on the fact that a professional swimmer won't get his nose flooded underwater OK. I'll accept the fact that you don't tolerate me here, but I won't accept the fact that you simply deny the existence of something just because you are not interested in it at all and slightly call me an idiot for being interested in it, and call me a liar about something you just proved with that Ryan Lochte video, as it can be seen there and in other Ryan Lochte turn youtube videos too... I have my right to be interested in this, you have your right not to be interested in it. That simple.
Even I could do it yesterday in the swimming pool a few times, with my screwed up anatomy and nasal health... And I would be pleased if I could at least post a detailed 'how to' based on my researches, gathered information AND experience (as I managed to do it), because if there is only one another idiot like me in this world interested in this crap, he won't find crap on the internet about this and won't understand why he is unable to do it.... But I guess I won't be allowed to make that post anyways... It was not my intention to piss anyone off in here and you are not obligated to read any of my posts here, as I am not obligated to read what I'm not interested in either. If this has nothing to do with professional swimming, then I'm off, but NO FREAKING WONDER you can find nothing on the worldwide web about this if it's so irrelevant to the majority of the people who tend to be oppressive with the minority.
