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 have been trying to use a nose clip to cut down on sinus infections because swimming has definitely been making me ill. (Don't have one now, thankfully.) I've used them with very limited success. When they stay on, I can definitely stay underwater longer on backstroke. No contest. But I can't seem to keep them on at all. I've tried the synchro and speedo ones. They don't stay on my nose. I'm not wearing a strap. What the heck am I doing wrong?
