How to use a nose plug for swimming

When people swim, they not only need to wear earplugs and eye masks, but also nasal plugs to protect all their facial features to prevent water from entering the ears and nose and causing nasal infection. When wearing nasal plugs for swimming, you should pay attention to cleaning the nasal cavity first. There should be no greasy makeup, foundation, etc. These are all very important.

Preparation before wearing

Because the nose clip may slip due to the oil on the nose, wash your face before wearing it. If there is too much oil, you can use facial cleanser.

How to Wear

First, take out the swimming nose clip you bought and clip it on the bridge of your nose, roughly between the two eyes. Then gently push your nose clip and let it slowly slide down to the nose wing. If there is a rope, you can wear it around your neck or ears to make the nose clip more secure and prevent it from slipping off easily. The advantage of this way of wearing is that you can feel if there is any discomfort when wearing the nose clip, and then make small adjustments yourself.

3 swimming tips for beginners

01 Breathing: It is important to master how to exhale and hold your breath in water. Beginners can go into the swimming pool, hold the edge of the pool with their hands, or stretch forward naturally, hold their breath and immerse their head in the water. After a while, raise their head and exhale steadily to overcome their fear of water.

02 After you get used to it, you can squat down, enter the water, and then slowly exhale through your mouth and nose. After a while, slowly stand up. This will help you regulate your breathing in the water.

03 Balance: After mastering the essentials of breathing, you need to practice your sense of balance in the water, which is also the basis for learning movements. You can wear floating sleeves or floating rafts first, and with the help of the coach, slowly relax your body and float on the water.

04 Posture: When your body is able to float on the water in a relaxed manner, you can use your legs to paddle the water downwards to practice the leg movements when swimming forward.

05 For a beginner, if he can complete the above movements, then the basics of swimming have been basically mastered. Now you can practice different swimming postures and listen to the guidance of the coach. If you don’t have a coach, you can also watch swimming teaching videos online.
