Dear Coach: I find that I am very stuffed up after swimming, probably due to the large amount of water that goes up my nose during workout. What do you recommend? I think nose clips are for wimps! Sniff'n and Sneez'n
Dear S. a. Sneez'n: It seems that many adult swimmers are developing sensitivity to the chlorine. In addition, for beginner swimmers avoiding getting water up your nose is just one more thing to worry about. I recommend nose clips for both these situations. It takes a while to get used to breathing in and out through your mouth, but the lack of sniffles and nose fulls of water is worth it. There are quite a few good swimmers wearing nose clips these days, so they're not only for wimps! I recently got a supply of good noseclips through Claudia, one of our coaches who works at Synchro Canada. They cost $4.30 each. I'm selling them for $5, with the 70c profit going to the club account. If you're interested, just let me know!
