I just find it really annoying.
I don't swim a lot now, but I swim at least twice weekly, sometimes thrice. To answer your question, no. Sometimes water is swallowed inadvertently, but it sounds like improper timing of your breathing. A gentle tip of the head is all that is required to breathe properly.
