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:
Have you ever tried it that way? I had some lower back issues a few months a go and it hurt to flip turn so I did open turns instead ... it was SO tiring ... I don't know how people do it. It takes longer (duh!) and takes so much more energy ... blech
I think the last time I did that many open turns at once was back when I was 16, literally just getting into swimming. I joined this program to swim 1-2 times a week the fall before I started my first year of HS swimming. One night, they had us doing a T-30. I had never done anything longer than ~150 or so at a time to that point. It was exhausting and I started doing a lot of open turns. It was a long swim - i got lapped at least 4x by these 11-12 year-old bimbos in my lane.
