Basically there's very sensitive tissue in the deeper areas of your nose. That coupled with the fact that the skin up there has a very high density of blood vessels which warms the air going into your lungs. It's so warm that the water is like an ice bath for your poor little nose.

What to do when you hurt your nose?

If your nose is broken, go to the ER. They will either perform surgery on your nose or patch it up. If it is only a nosebleed, wrap a piece of gauze around your finger, tilt your head back, and gently place the finger on the nose, not inside. Once bleeding has ended, carefully wash you nose out with water.

Water comes out of the nose after swimming because when a person is underwater, water can enter the nasal passages. When the person comes up for air, the water trapped in the nasal passages is expelled, causing it to come out of the nose.
