Is it possible to compete with a nose clip on?
Due to some sinus problems (so the doc thinks) I need to swim with a nose clip which is ok if I swim just for me, but a couple weeks ago our coach mentioned something about a some competition in the summer...... I feel so stupid wearing this thing on my nose..... Am I the only one? If there a better way to fix my sinus problem? Can it be related to the pool water or am I just making it up? :frustrated:
I buty them from Keifer. I get the ones they make and I buy 12 at a tiem. they are for synco swimmers. There are 2 sized. the small ones I have only found in a catalogue the SCAT webpage. They are really small. I must have a big nose (doesn't look that big to me) because I have to take the large ones & stretch them.
As for the entry about swimming on your back underwater. taht's how I learned to kick for butterfly.

I have been doing some research on the website since I've been having a lot of trouble with my sinuses since I starting swimming again. (I also have terrible allergies.) I see that you have always answered everyone's questions on every new thread on this topic. I've concluded that I need to use saline sprays/rinses and try nose clips. I just wanted to thank you for all the advice that you've given over and over.
