How to Apply a Nose Clip

A nose clip allows you to take a leisurely swim without the fear of water entering through your nostrils. Nose clips come in two different designs. The strapless nose clip features a thin pliable wire that is covered with a protective layer of latex. The other type of nose clip features an elastic strap that fits around the base of your head. The Enjoy Swimming website recommends the strapless nose clip because of its compact design and comfortable fit.
