I've recently started swimming as I'm hoping to complete a sprint triathlon, but I have some major breathing hurdles to overcome. Due to some medical issues, I HAVE to wear a nose plug while swimming. I realize that this is bad, and that no alternate method will allow me to swim as efficiently than if I didn't wear this, but I need to have it on and removing it is not an option.
Currently, I'm just exhaling (through my mouth, obviously) when one would turn to inhale, then do kind of an underwater half doggy paddle to give me an extra second to inhale. This is not working super well, but I'm surviving. I'm only doing a front crawl currently.
Any suggestions on how to mitigate the harms of not being able to exhale underwater?
