when we are underwater, how does water not get inside our bodies through our eyes, ears, nose and every other orifice?

As the Simpsons put it: we are greasy bags of mostly water. The water is already in us. That’s what keeps it out. If you throw a bag of water in water why doesn’t the water get in the bag?
It does. From Wikipedia, this is the ‘brain eating amoeba,’ “Infections most often occur when water containing N. fowleri is inhaled through the nose…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri
