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?

    I've tried the lip thing and can't seem to get it. I try to blow out just enough that it keeps the water out but not so much I run out of air. Easy the first 25 and not so easy on the last 25. I've never raced with a plug but have considered it. I like breathing through my nose while swimming and that's what has stopped me from trying it.
