Somehow I must have forgotten how to breathe while swimming during my hiatus and end up with burning sinuses by the end of my workout--especially doing IM work w/backstroke flips and SDKs. :confused:
I'm considering looking into a nose clip, but haven't a clue if they would work.
The Speedo Competition Nose Clip has good reviews.
Anyone have any experience with these?

The reason water goes up your nose when you turn is because you are probably turning too slowly. The differences in pressure is why the water goes up your nose.
I injured my elbow yesterday so when I did do freestyle (slowly) this morning I concentrated on my breathing, thinking about your comment. It seems I'm not exhaling as forcefully as I should be. When I concentrated on that, very little or no water was sniffed.
When I'm back up to speed I'll have a better idea.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I'll check them all out.
