I recently started using a nose clip ... I know, they look funny, but for years I would always get really congested after a workout and this has solved that problem.
But it has created a new problem ... now when I roll to breath (freestyle), water somehow flows/slides down my face and into my mouth during the split second that the side of my face is above water. It isn't a lot of water, but it is enough to be annoying. I have to spit out the little bit of water while I'm exhaling for the next breath. I think with the nose clip pinching my nose, there is a more direct path for the water to flow into my mouth.
Even though I don't think you are supposed to tilt your head very much when breathing, I have tried different head tilts to see if that keeps the water from flowing in, but this didn't help.
Anyone have any suggestions or experienced this?

No trough - head is in the wrong position. If you happen to get water in your mouth you do not have to take it in. Gulpers swallow water.
