Nose clip?

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?

    I use it sometimes for backstroke or underwater dolphin kick, Yep. These are cheap enough that I'm going to try one out and see if it helps. Leaving now for the swim shop... I'm not looking forward to the questions from the other lap swimmers regarding my using it. They question everything I do..."Where do you get your menu? (a cute term a nice Japanese gal uses instead of workout), "Why do you use fins?" "Why did you just flip and then stop?" @@, etc. And my all time favorite: "Why do you have to swim so fast?" These people are all wonderfully nice and very friendly to visit with in the mornings, but the nose clip will make them pause.
