Im 13 and i can swim but,,,?



wenever i do freestyle like wen i take a breath water goes up my nose and its feels really werid and kinda hurts...how can i prevent this?

make sure you are turning your head enough to the side. breathe through your mouth not, your nose.

when you go to turn your head back into the water, blow out with your nose.

also, before you try this while swimming, you can practice blowing bubbles with your nose underwater while holding onto the wall. this will help you get used to doing it while swimming. Source(s): 8 years of swim team
I think you should get some plugs. They go on the side of your nose to stop water from going up your nose. Hope it works.
you swim
bring your head up to the side
alligned perfectly horizontal
(like almost in your armpit =] )
take breath
put head back in
breathe out
come back up
repeat process

Im a 13 year old swimmer too and am on the swim team. I've never had this problem but your probably taking the breath to soon. Like when your almost at the surface. I would maybe breath with your mouth and not nose.
