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:
There is another reason water gets inthe sinus cavities. During a flip the water pressure changes. If you flip too slowly, the water pressure change will push water into your nose. Most people breath out through their nose at this tiem. If you don't, the water rushes in.
hmmm, maybe thats why i got a sinus infection... well that settles it. no more flip turns! from now on, my 500 will feature 19 open turns. :wiggle:
