Any time I swim backstroke I prefer using a nose clip and the reason is simple; it helps me swim faster. What is a little more complicated is HOW it helps me swim faster.
There are two reasons:
the first is that it helps me put my head in a better position and that puts my whole body in a more horizontal position. The reason I can lay down flatter on the surface with my head is that water doesn’t get into my nose with all the splashing I make with my arms, especially while going fast. And my mouth reacts and closes much faster when there is water all around and takes a breath much quicker when it can.
The second reason is that I can do more underwater dolphin kicks. Without the nose clip, I have to blow bubbles so that water doesn’t get in my nose. If I don’t blow bubbles I have more oxygen in my lungs and more floatability to come up easier to the surface, and thus, I can stay longer underwater. important to note here is that underwater dolphin kick should be faster than backstroke swimming.
Fun fact: Without a mustache, I can do this… which acts like a nose clip closing my nostrils. Unfortunately, with a mustache, the seal is not watertight and I do get water up my nose.
