So I just had a curious conversation with my wife. She is getting swimming lessons and complained that she is forgetting to blow water out of her nose when surfacing. I laughed and asked why she would not keep her nose closed, to which she told me that I’m a creep and the only person she knows who can close his nose with just facial muscles. It can’t be true, right? Right?

    TIL people can’t close their nasal passages voluntarily.

      This guy is talking about getting water out of the nostrils themselves , not the nasal passage. If you don’t breathe out bwforyou breathe in while swimming, you’ll inhale the water in your nostrils.
