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 is the best way to teach children how to go under the water without getting water up their nose?

Depending on the age of the child I would generally start by lifting them slightly and going into the water forehead first and then goggles first. practice holding their breath for 6 seconds then breathing out. For an older child complaining that the water goes up their nose when doing freestyle this will happen as they role out for a breath and it is due to in correct technique. The head and arm need to be together when they role out and you want to be able to see that their mouth is on the same plane as their eyes AS they roll out. In other words you could draw a level line from forehead to chin. Nose plugs are probably a bad idea because they don't teach your child how to adapt to the water but how to overcome it. Also promotes incorrect technique. Once the nose plug is gone, in goes the water because the child hasn't learned what to do. Same goes for inflatables that parents like to have their children wear; you can't learn to be a strong swimmer by floating. blowing bubbles through your nose and humming a song usually does the trick!


Can a bug fly up your nose and end up in your ear canal?

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.

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.
