I practiced with a bowl full of water, and I was amazed......but then I did it again but I accidentally wasn't thinking straight and water went in my nose
First of all, exhaling through your nose only helps if: - you have an adequate anatomy for it (your nasal passages are not short and don't widen instantly as a connection to the cavity itself) - you have ABSOLUTELY no issues with either your septum, any of your turbinates, mucous membranes, neither you have adenoids in your nose or sinuses - your nasal passages are BALANCED, meaning that the same amount of air per second can be inhaled and exhaled through them. If you don't meet the first condition, even when you are blowing out a bubble, when the bubbles leaves, it'll grant some space for the water to slip in... Next thing you will feel is water in your throat...... If you don't meet the second condition, that will result in not meeting the third condition either, which means with an unbalance between the two nasal passages, there will be an air pressure that will be enough for one of them to blow bubbles out, but not enough for the other not even to keep water outside. Water will slip in, you'll find it in your throat immediately. This video doesn't mention that there's a possibility to keep water out of the nose without a noseclip, and without blowing bubbles out and wasting air with it. Keep a bubble at the entrance of your nasal passages and keep the pressure, but do not realaease the bubble, and the water won't be able to get into your nasal passages. Every person is different, some have to (and can) cover their nose with their lips, some can shrink their nasal passages to the level that helps with controlling the breath and bubbles easier. There are ways to help yourself. This is the most effective way to protect the nose (and most professional as well), as even the noseclips can be leaky (and they look dumb anyway)... But unfortunately, it is not possible to learn this technique for those who have any unbalance between their nasal passages OR don't have an advantageous nose anatomy that helps. I do not meet none of the above mentioned conditions for example. I am going to septum and adenoid surgery, though still experimenting. I have been practicing this technique (and of course, reading LOADS about it and the nose anatomy) for weeks now, I managed to do it a few times, but what was funny is that while my right nasal passage wasn't releasing bubbles, just kept the water out, my left nasal passage was still sprinkling bubbles out ROFL. I also have to scrunch my face and pretend like I wanna kiss someone, as for me covering my nose with my lips is impossible, and I have a very fucked up, disadvantegous nose anatomy (short, immeadiately widening nasal passages) and also other issues with my septum, plus adenoids in both my sinuses and nose... Most of the people who can do this learnt it while they were babies or kids, but I wouldn't say anyone can take credit for this crap that they are able to do it, as with a good nose anatomy and no issues, everyone could master it in a day or two....
I have tried to do so, but I didn't made it through, everytime I go under the water i just feeling i am got drowning, maybe i have a kind of psychological fear
Hi Jenny, thanks for your comment. Don't worry, this is a common problem and we made a whole free program of videos that you might find really helpful. Work through them step-by-step with someone you feel comfortable with and get back to us, we'd love to hear if they helped or not! Find the videos here :) bit.ly/2szG65Q
the best way to overcome fear of water is by going to deep water and jump. by then you yourself fight your greatest fear and you are forced to survive. determine are you weak or brave person
This is not strictly correct: people's nose anatomy differ, and I (for example) always get water up my nose if I somersault or try to breathe to one side, no matter how hard I exhale through my nose. I have several freediving friends who are the same. I'm afraid for us the only solution is a nose-clip, or a mask when diving.
Another Freediver I agree with you. My mother has tried to teach me for years how to swim without plugging my nose without results. I have watched when she goes underwater, she doesn't exhale like the person in this video and I see a small bubble on both nostrils. My husband can go underwater without issues and so can my 6 year old. My 12 year old and 9 year old has issues. My 4 year old is still scared of going underwater so I am not sure about her yet
Kaitlyn B. Close your mouth why you go underwater and hum a straight tune. The bubbles will automatically come out of your nose just don't sniff in. Or take a big breath with your mouth and slowly blow out your mouth until it's gone underwater and come up when it's out
I think you dont understand that people who come to watch this video and probably like me -cronical nose holders underwater, so the "simple" move of breathing out trought the nose underwater is already imposible 😂
Hi Chris, thanks for commenting! Have you checked out the rest of the programme yet? There are plenty of greats resources in there to help you! Take a look at this video to get accustomed to being underwater: bit.ly/2rXud98 Once you've done that it's just a matter of going to pool, preferably with someone you trust for support, and practicing these exercises regularly until you feel comfortable with them. Do let us know how you get on! Good luck :)
When I do handstands I fear the water getting inhaled through my nose and therefore causing a headache. What's the best way to breath when doing a handstand? Also, when doing a summer-salt do I have to exhale from my nose during the entire process? Love your videos!
Thanks for your comment Hajar, great questions! You should always exhale through your nose and mouth when underwater. Take a look at this video on handstands: bit.ly/2v2DCtJ and this one on somersaults: bit.ly/2tyXQNQ Hope this helps! :)
@stardust cheerios This video (I think) is directed towards people who have aquaphobia as suggested in the title (these people include me). Please remember, if you're watching a video on a basic swimming technique, you probably want to assume they aren't too great at swimming.
Forst this video is mostly directed to people with aquaphobia, second I think they meant that as if too much water gets in your nose or/and something happens to you have someone who can save you
There's also another way, though this one takes practice. Getting water into the nose actually isn't what stings. It's when it goe seven further. But, with practice, you can learn to control some of the muscles in your throat, closing off this opening. This way, you can be on you back, or swim down, without having to blow air out your nose all the time.
I got scared of jumping in the water after those few times jumping in the water and, water going up my nose. The same thing happens when I try and practice to float or swim underwater. I found this helpful and I'm sure next time when I swim I won't be afraid to swim underwater, float, and jump. THX 😂😃👌👌👌
Thanks for your comment- you're not alone in struggling with this on flip turns! Glad you found the video helpful, and do let us know how you get on :)
I know how to kayak but I learned with a nose clip. I’d like to go out on a lake instead of a pool but I’m afraid that I will inhale water if I capsize.
I can't dive in water without holding my nose ..... everytime I try to dive without holding nose water goes in my nostrils and gives me headache What should I do ?
It really doesn’t matter how I enter the water or how I swim, I even get water in my nose and right after my throat when I’m tilting my head too much when showering. I’m desperate
Guys let me share my experience as i also use a noseclip...but that is not the solution bcoz once u close ur nose n start swimming it will b vry tough to breath through mouth, ul get tired so quickly n rather of taking 4 laps ul take only 2....its so hard to swim without a noseclip but it is vry nice..u hv to get habituate for that..
@@dawsoncarpenter2244 The epiglottis only blocks off the lungs when you swallow. This feels like the Palatine Tonsil moving across to block the nose passage. I cannot move my epiglottis at will, where as this action I can do anytime.
virtual-adam yeah same it feels like an eyelid to me too I tried to research and can’t find anything and I thought it was just me who could do it but i dont have to hold my nose under water
@@dawsoncarpenter2244 Guess its quite rare then, maybe a leftover mechanism from when we were in the water (if they got that right!). Seen those people who can push their eyeballs right out, we are rare like them but no one can see what we can do :D
I have a muscle in my nose that I can close that stops water entering my sinuses. Anyone know what that muscles called? Also I'm not sure if it's something I learned as a child or something that just comes naturally either you have it or you don't I think most people have it. Possibly people that have not done a lot of swimming having trained this muscle.
Please connect me I can translate all your videos into Bengali. I am a professional translator and have been researching on water safety and swimming for the last 3 years. 300 millions of people speak Bangla. And the death rate due to drowning is the highest in Bangladesh and in west Bengal of India.
I have the issue of that if I do get water in my nose I can’t help but swallow swallow swallow and can’t figure out how to stop it I feel like it’s gonna drown me at the bottom of a pool or lake if that happens where I can’t just stand up
I want to learn to just deal with the water being there so I can stay calm and purge it out but can’t stop the swallow reflex and once I start swallowing I can’t stop kinda like it some one was tipping ur glass ur drinking from and was going too fast and you want to stop but can’t
Hi there! Follow the steps in this video to learn how to swim without holding your nose, the key being to exhale through your nose and mouth when underwater. You can also buy a noseclip if you prefer :)
Download the app called Freediving Trainer, it takes u through a series of times where u hold ur breath increasing time by 15-30 seconds each time, and u take breaks in between I've used for about 4 weeks now and my time holding my breath has increased from 1:12 seconds, to 2:37 seconds.
I can do the technique but I can’t swim while doing it, I lose air too quickly and when I go back down underwater too quick, water gets inside and I end up snorting some by reflex. Any advice?
Breathing in water through your nose is extremely painful. I need a nose clip but I have no money lmao. Cause I’m a frickng kid. Anyway back to my point, inhaling water through your nose is a freakin sport soooo painful
I practiced with a bowl full of water, and I was amazed......but then I did it again but I accidentally wasn't thinking straight and water went in my nose
Oops! Well done for getting the technique, keep practising and the action will soon be second nature to you :)
Sikana English Alright, thanks!
Nice I m thinking practise in jar in home
Ikr is difficult
Yeah I practiced in my sink lol
Step 1: Buy a nose clip.
Step 2: Put it on.
Nose clips are also an option! Hope you enjoyed the video :)
Sikana English where can you buy a nose clip
Most swimming/sports shops will have them, they don't cost much at all
Tony Thao swimming pool shops?
But it'll be sucky to have to wear a nose clip every time you swim
I knew this, but I think I fell out of practice. ;-; I've missed you, swimming

As soon as i hit the water i stop inhaling, its mental, i can't change that

Nose clip.
only works if i let the air out of my nose at full speed for half or maybe a second
I'm the same ... a noseclip is the only solution. I found it completely liberating.
Every time I try to exhale through my nose, I get scared and just come back to the surface. I don’t know how to do it. :(

while you can avoid water entering your nose by exhaling, I'm also concerned about water entering ears when turning sideways

You can't keep breathing out underwater. It will make it worse and panicky. Plus it gives you less time underwater
Hi Thanks so much!but what about if you just jump in the pool will the pressure cause the water to always go in your nose or can that be prevented?
*Good explanation..*
*Thanks..*
I exhaled in my nose but water came in...
TYSM! It helped!
when you are upside down do you breath through your nose or mouth
I have a question, when i exhale do i let all the air out or what
I do this a lot 😂 thanks for the tip!
I think cuz this video is meant for people who don’t know to swim like me
I still get pain while exhaling. Maybe it's needed to be constant? But it's hard because you don't know how much to exhale

Breath?
exhaling through your nose or mouth....not both of them lol..... that would be impossible to breath out with the two at the same time
