nose clips

Swimmer's nasal seal

Nose clips are small devices that pinch the nostrils closed, typically used by swimmers to keep water out of the nasal passages.

They're also worn during certain medical tests or by synchronized swimmers who spend extended time inverted underwater.

The term sometimes refers to eyeglass frames that grip the nose bridge.
