Can people close their nose? (self.asklemmy)

So I just had a curious conversation with my wife. She is getting swimming lessons and complained that she is forgetting to blow water out of her nose when surfacing. I laughed and asked why she would not keep her nose closed, to which she told me that I'm a creep and the only person she knows who can close his nose with just facial muscles. It can't be true, right? Right?

what do you mean by closing?

Do you mean, just control that water does not go through your nose, or do you really like squeez your nose like you would with your fingers?

Mmm… so when I contract muscles on my face I can make it’s impossible to breathe thru my nose. Visually it’s like parts above nose arches just contract a bit inwards. Nothing drastic.
