First you need to remove the water. Urban legend says that you put a few drops of rubbing alcohol in your ear and lie down with that ear on a towel to drain. Then, apply either a hot water bottle, heating pad or warm ear cups. The swimmers ear should clear up within 48 hours.

I used to get it a lot, and the doctor would give me ear drops, but now I think you can get the drops over the counter at say Walmart or something in the pharmacy.

They sell drops in the drug store called "aqua ear" well that is one brand. You put in the drops and have to hold your head to the side. Basically it's alcohol. I had this in January (in Australia) and the drops worked well. It really hurt!

preventive ear plugs ...but if you already have it...don't do anything that requires good balance and try and wait it out...otherwise simplest method is the alchohol qtip mentioned above and if it's serious resort to doctor.
