The mucous membrane in your nasal passages have a specific pH (acid vs. base) level. When you get water up your nose, the water is slightly acidic or alkaline (depending on where you live) and that can irritate the mucous membrane due to the interaction between the mucous and the water. If you wait a few minutes, it should go back to normal.
There is a pressure difference between the inside of the ear and the water outside. Because the air inside is compressible, the water will begin pushing in; this stretches the tympanum (eardrum) and causes irritation.
The water molecules separate using the force of the mass but cohesion is acting against your body force to stick together, which is why it hurts.

Do diving moves hurt?
This answer depends on which move you use.Water has a thin layer of a substance that can only be described as a 'skin.' This, is what makes objects such as water bugs or leaves float.When diving into a pool or a lake or what ever else you can dive into, you're breaking the skin of the water. The more surface you apply to the water, the more it will potentially hurt.For instance, a cannon ball where you're all curled up and only your rear end breaks the surface of the water, it doesn't hurt so much. A belly flop, with your arms out stretched and your whole body hit the surface, is going to hurt much more.Also, the part of your body that hits, because some parts are tougher than others, and how much force you have when hitting the water, also effects how much it's going to hurt.I hope this is what you were looking for.

NO! The chemicals in the pool will hurt them, not to mention it's MUCH too cold! Let them swim in a shallow bath tub filled with warm (not hot) water.
