  • swimming would help you grow taller ?

  • @iScr3am666 exhale through your nose rather than your mouth while doing flip turns it will keep water out of your nose

  • I can do the back stroke flip turn, but then the water from my nose goes down into my throat and I wind up coughing on it after a few more laps. How do I prevent this?

  • me too!

  • ye this would help if the wrds wasnt in the way

  • @MrPickle24 your head might be back a bit too far. try raising it a bit.

  • one question that i need an urgent reply. when i do backstroke i always throw the water in to my  mouth LOL but when i close the mouth i throw the water into my nose thats funny but i need to fix this problem
