I was watching the barcelona swim meet, esp the backstroke event when I saw the competitors dolfin kick underwater facing up. I didn't see them blow out the water until right before they surfaced. I'm wondering if they are just used the water going in the nose. I know that some of them wear nose clips but to be able to dolfin kick that far & long underwater, surely water must go in the nose... Can the sinous ever get used that?

    actually, I've met people with a condition before where when they blow air out through the mouth, some air automatically enter the nose. Granted this is not the "norm", but for ppl with this condition noseclip is almost necessary... I forgot what this thing is called, but apparent these ppl make great trumpet players and such because they actually get air while blowing it out!
