dip a ear swab (q-tip) in rubbing alcohol and then swab your ear just as you would when you clean it.

Go to your local pharmacy. They should have an over-the-counter (non-prescription) item called "Swim-Ear". It is a really concentrated form of rubbing alcohol (you don't want the regular kind as it has been too diluted with water). Put two or three drops in each ear after showering or swimming. That should dry up the water in there. It works good!

A few drops of rubbing alcohol in your ears will help dry the water. You can also mix hydrogen peroxide and alcohol - that's the ingredients in most swimmers ear products.

Don't let the water stay in your ear as it could lead to an infection! What I do is mix One tsp. of rubbing alcohol with one tsp. of white vinegar, pour it into your ear and the old water will come out, The alcohol kills bacteria and the white vinegar kills fungus that the water might have in it..

a trick that my grandmother taught me was to tp your head the side the water is stuck in. then pour more water n your ear not to much. the tip your head over and the water comes right out.

lay on your side( ear wit the water facing down). then just lay there and the water will come out. or you can buy a solution for swimmer's ear.
