Getting water up your nose can be painful because the sensitive nasal passages and sinuses are not designed to handle the sudden influx of water. The force of the water entering the nose can cause irritation and discomfort, leading to a stinging or burning sensation. Additionally, water entering the nasal passages can disrupt the natural balance of mucus and create a feeling of pressure or discomfort.
This is due to the pressure and/or temperature, and/or position from which a fluid is entering the nose.
The sinus was not designed to take in fluid really, so it gets irritated and causes than nasty disorienting pain that runs up your head and dissolves a while after.
If the water is cold or just lower than your body temperature this may occur.
If you are used to swimming face down and then you decide to swim with your face up, water travels deeper down the sinus cavity in areas that are not so used to that pressure, thus causing pain.
You may improve on this, by leaning how to relax your face and nose while swimming (this may take some time) as well as certain types of breath control (try humming while breathing through your nose).
If you swim regularly enough you will be able to draw in the water into your nose from any position and will even forget what that pain was (because you wont get it anymore). You will also gain more awareness of your sinus (you have an idea of it like any other body part and can control it somewhat).
If you don't want to bother to let your body adapt by the processes mentioned you can prevent this pain by buying a nose clip.
It is because the snot up your nose has dried up
One effective way is to teach children to hold their breath before going underwater. Encourage them to exhale gently through their nose as they submerge. Practice in a shallow pool or bathtub to build confidence. Using nose clips can also help prevent water from getting in their nose.
It is possible for a bug to fly up your nose, but it is highly unlikely for the bug to navigate from your nose and end up in your ear canal. The human anatomy and protective mechanisms such as nose hairs and the Eustachian tube make it difficult for insects to travel from the nose to the ear. If you have concerns, it is always best to consult a healthcare professional.
Slime from your nose, also known as mucus, is primarily made up of water, proteins, antibodies, and other compounds. It acts as a protective barrier in trapping and flushing out harmful particles and bacteria from your nasal passages.
The rubbery tissue making up the outer nose is called cartilage. Cartilage provides structure and support to the nose, allowing it to maintain its shape. It is flexible yet firm, helping to protect the nose from injuries.
Pretty much all piercings hurt - its just a matter of how much. Most nose piercing hurts about the same as getting an earlobe pierced. Of course there is also soreness after the piercing which usually goes away after it heals up (unless it gets infected).

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.
You can get hurt but not once you get signed up

No it does not hurt getting a tooth pulled because the dentist will numb your gums. The shot they use to numb you up will hurt a little bit.
It is like a clip for your nose. It is used by swimmers. It prevents water from going up the nose.
It hurts to get anything pierced, but my nose has been repierced three times. The second time it hurt so much I fainted. The third time I got dizzy.
This is the easiest way to not hold your nose underwater. When you go underwater, blow bubbles out of your nose. This will prevent the water from entering your nose. Just blow bubbles out of your nose frequently and no water will get up your nose.

When you can't breathe through your "nose-holes", I'd say you had a stuffy nose! Don't start using nose spray!!! You might end up getting addicted to it!!!
