Craig Arnold • Hmm, my one daughter has the strangest reflex. When she puts her face in the water she gasps through her nose and sucks up lots of water. Needless to say that induces panic long before she can get oriented enough to swim towards me. My older daughter never did this. So it's quite perplexing.She's very happy to push my head underwater, actually she loves doing that.

When she is older, she may be one of those who used nose plugs or a mask that covers the nose. With an older sister, she'll want to swim after her!

Craig Arnold • Thanks for the advice. She does the same thing in the bath or shower. I've decided to try a snorkelling mask that covers her nose. At least that will allow us to get on with things until we can resolve the water-up-the-nose problem.

Beatriz Skeens • I think that would be best. She will need to practice breathing through her mouth. Do it together - hold your nose and breathe, maybe your other daughter too, so she will want to do it too. She won't feel weird... Even better if all three of you use a mask for a while. Hopefully, she'll get over it. I would love to know how it goes and what works!

Craig Arnold • It's her birthday next week, so she'll be getting the mask as one of her presents. I'm hoping simply having the mask will get her past the initial reflex and discomfort generated by having a lot of water up your nose and choking. All that happens with a scuba mask is you suck the mask on a bit tighter, but that shouldn't cause her to panic. If she can then start to enjoy being underwater and overcome the panic reflex she might then be able to start working without the mask and working on other water skills. Curiously she can actually put her mouth in the water and blow bubbles, but as soon as her nose goes under she has this huge reflex inhale through her nose
