Catch a wave...Or the swimming thread

I started having problems with my sinuses a couple of years ago so I started wearing a nose plug. It was horrible, it threw my rhythm off, but now I honestly can't swim without it.

I find I can stay underwater way longer, especially when kicking off doing backstroke, and very handy when you're getting winded and doing flip turns (when you don't have much umph left and you do flip turns water always went up my nose).

Our club swims outdoor from May-October, and yes, it's much better for chlorine. I think it dissipates in the air a lot quicker than in an enclosed space. But I also get grossed out knowing that seagulls poop in there...

Syndirelah That is quite the swim! let us know how it goes - especially the 100's on :40
you must swim a fast 100 to make it 3 x's on :40

Also that is a lot of yardage!

Pretty impressive !
