    Try exhaling through your mouth or your nose when your head is underwater.

    you have to blow out your nose hard when your about to hit the water. Since you are doing a cannonball then you want to blow hard so no water gets in your nose. You could also wear the goggles with the nose piece on them so you dont have to do anything.

    When you are jumping blow air out of your nose! Even when you hit the water keep blowing out air. This will keep the water out of your nose and never wear goggles when jumping into a pool unless you are diving because they will flop up when you hit the water, and trust someone with experience...IT HURTS!!

    I do not know about you but when I am in a place that does NOT smell good I just plug my nose without hands. To do this plug your nose with your hands and then take it off and don't breathe in or out and then when you are doing a cannonball do that and then when you hit the water breathe out! Hope this helps! :o)
