In the late nineties, when I first came back from India and was writing my nose breathing exercise book, Body, Mind, and Sport, I was fascinated by the benefits and feedback I was seeing when people learned how to nose breathe.

As a triathlete, I was set on figuring out how to nose breathe while swimming—which, as it turned out, was no easy task.

Since the book was published in 1994, I have received hundreds of requests to help people learn how to nose breathe while they swim.

This article is about my underwater nasal breathing quest. I am thrilled to say that, after all these years, I can finally offer something incredibly effective for all of you who desire to take your nose breathing practice under water.
