TYR Ergo Swim Clip

This noseclip is not for everyone, but works perfectly for me and my wife. My son does kayaking and this is one of his preferred nose clips, but it wasn't his favorite a few years ago when he was younger and smaller.There are some factors that people should keep in mind before buying this (or any) noseclip.1. Size--this product is best for older kids and adults. It is not adjustable so it will be too big for small kids. If you have a large, broad nose, it might be uncomfortable after a long swim session.2. Padding/materials--the nosepads on this are comfortable and durable. They won't crack but can peel off. If you put sunscreen on your nose, the pads will get too slippery. My daughter applies the sunscreen after the noseclip. The plastic frame won't warp or get hot in the sun like metal frames, but if you need to adjust it, you won't be able to.3. Color--the clear is the cheapest (at the time I purchased these) but if it drops in the deep end of the pool, it'll be almost impossible to find. All other times we use the colored ones (and some stores have a cheaper price so look around). It's nice to have a few colors because her teammates borrow her noseclips and she can identify them easily.When I purchase these I bought about a dozen of them thinking I would probably loose some of them. I haven't lost one yet. I have given several pair away to friends and family and they all love them.

Very comfortable, they stay put and prevent nasal water from entering. I have a deviated septum and water entrance in my nasal passage can be a problem during lap swimming. The tyr ergo nose clip works great and they are so comfortable you forget you are wearing them. A short break-in is require to get them perfect. About two or 3 trips to the pool but after that they are great.

Here is what I am looking for in a nose clip.1. Stay put2. Be comfortable3. Stay on my nose.4. If it does insist on falling off, be easy to find.5. Don't fall off.Here is my experience. Day One, Lap One: Clips fell off. Day One, Lap Two: Clips pop off. Day One between Lap Two and Three, I put the clips away in a safe place and resolved to used strong soap to remove any trace of oil from my nose. Now up to this point I had gone for six decades with out any hint that I was suffering from any excessive nose oil. And... I am blessed with a wife who notices such things. I mean, let my nose hair get the least bit excessive and I'll hear about it in no uncertain terms. So, I had always felt fairly certain that the relative oiliness of my nose was well within the norms established by wives everywhere for this sort of thing. But after just two laps, I was convinced that no one in their right mind would design a clip that would squirt off a nose with such vigor. And, since mine had fairly lept from my own schnoz, the only rational explanation was that I was suffering from an acute and severe case of excessive nose oil. Not to worry, I had a plan.Day Two: Not wanting any hint of oil between those clips and my nose, I washed and dried my snout thoroughly before applying the clips and entering the water. As I started my fist lap in the shallow end of the pool, things seemed to be going better than the day before. Yes, the clips did seem to be a little antsy, like they were not convinced that being on my nose and in the water at the same time was really such a good idea, but I had already swam 25 meter father than the day before and they had not yet tried to escape. Then, I made the turn at the deep end, and those little suckers made there move, and just launched themselves from my face with all the energy they could muster. With matching zest I lunged for them as they dropped precipitously though the first couple of feet of pool water on their way to the bottom, ten feet below. But here is where these escape artist really began to show their stuff. In a mere 18 inches these bugger became invisible. So I asked myself, "Who would ever have guessed that clear plastic clips would be so hard to spot in a pool?" Maybe it was the same guy who designed the nose-a-phobic clips in the first place. Yes, that was the conclusion I came to. Surely this had all just been a four dollar joke on me. I only wish I had given these as a gift to someone I did not really like. Then I think I could truly have enjoyed the sick genius of the person who designed a novelty as amusing as these jumping/disappearing clips.

This noseclip is not for everyone. My daughter does synchronized swimming and this is one of her preferred nose clips, but it wasn't her favorite a few years ago when she was younger (and smaller).There are some factors that people should keep in mind before buying this (or any) noseclip.1. Size--this product is best for older kids and adults. It is not adjustable so it will be too big for small kids. If you have a large, broad nose, it might be uncomfortable after a long swim session.2. Padding/materials--the nosepads on this are comfortable and durable. They won't crack but can peel off. If you put sunscreen on your nose, the pads will get too slippery. My daughter applies the sunscreen after the noseclip. The plastic frame won't warp or get hot in the sun like metal frames, but if you need to adjust it, you won't be able to.3. Color--the clear is the cheapest (at the time I purchased these) but if it drops in the deep end of the pool, it'll be almost impossible to find. It's great for my daughter's syncho so she doesn't look like Rudolph the reindeer but she only wears the clear ones for the show. All other times she uses the colored ones (and some stores have a cheaper price so look around). It's nice to have a few colors because her teammates borrow her noseclips and she can identify them easily.

The quality of the material was good, but they were too tight and I could not get them on my nose. They would work for a child.

Comfortable and stays in place. I've tried 6-8 different brands and models and this is the best I've found

Great fit for me. Stays in place even after swimming for an hour straight.

Tight but not too tight. Makes backstroke easier for my swimmer. Functions exactly as expected.
