Hum.

If your exhale is HHHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the whole time your face is in the water you shouldn't get water in your nose and it helps control your breathing. 



This poster forgot to mention that you are only allowed to hum "Smoke on the Water." You are not permitted to hum anything else, or water will continue to go up your nose.

hooslisa - 2009-01-28 4:17 PM yay! i had a small swim scheduled for today. The perfect opportunity to torture myself. When I packed my swim bag I sadly took my nose clips out so that I wouldn't be tempted to grab them if my attempts started going downhill. I grabbed a kickboard, and for 5-10 minutes just slowly moved along with my face in the water, then I pretended to roll and breathe. It sucked. I wanted to go home, but I pushed through. In the end I did my full workout (1650m) with out noseclips for the very first time. By the end i was fine. Not 100%, but fine. thanks for all the advice. I never thought I would be able to do it.

Yay!  There is hope.  Big, big congrats to you.  I really like the idea w/ the kickboard!  My Y's been closed the last 2 days and I'm just dying to try all the stuff I've learned!

funny I am reading this and I am so that nose plug guy.  I just went to the store and bought 5 pairs to make sure I got plenty.  I seem to lose them alot.

 Funny I lost my nose plugs right before a 5k open water swim race.  I was like OMg what do I do.  I figured I try and if something went wrong I just swim to shore.  Ironicly I swam the race without 1 problem.  I came back to the pool the end weekend and bam.  I could not swim 25 meters without pain.

 OP I feel your pain.

 for the ladies swim caps on a girl is kinda sexy.

Hey, guys.  I just want to extend another big thanks for your all's advice.  Today was the first time I've had a chance to swim since my OP.

Last time, I stood up to breathe 95% of the time and breathed while on my side the other 5%.  Today, I was able to breathe 90% normally (on my side) and only had to stand up about 10% of the time.

I'm on my way!  Thanks for your all's help and encouragement!
