noseclip

Swimmer's breathing blocker

A noseclip is a small device that pinches the nostrils closed, worn by swimmers to keep water out of the nose or by workers to block unpleasant odors.

Synchronized swimmers wear them throughout their routines.

Some appear in breathing exercises or sleep apnea treatments to redirect airflow through the mouth.
