Subject: RE: How to jump off 12' and not get water up my nose?Originally posted by TriJayhawkRyan Cup your hand over your nose to avoid the immediate rush of water into you nostrils. Basically palm on your chin, cup your fingers and hand to protect your nose. Probably best to cup your nose with one hand and use the other to hold your arm against your torso. If your elbow catches the water, that force will get translated straight to your chin/nose. The other thing will be to flex your knees just a little bit with your feet flat and slightly apart. The result is your feet aerate the water, cutting down the force into your nose. |
