One of the most common problems you may face when swimming is getting water in your ear. And it is, in fact, one of the most annoying things. However, you should be careful about how you deal with it, because a wrong move can make the situation even more unbearable.
So see below what you should and should not do:
DO'S
Turn to one side and try to get the trapped water out. A few drops of white alcohol on the edge can help it evaporate, as well as if you sleep on that side the same night.
The DON'TS
In no case do not put a swab in the ear and do not move it left to right. Sticking to it will also not help.
