* Step one: Dry the external ear canal after swimming or bathing. Tip the head to drain the ear canal. Use a soft, clean towel to dry the outer ear (the tragus). Next, with the head tipped to the side, use the towel to enter only the first part of the ear canal to soak up any draining water.
* Step two: Mix into a small dropper bottle, one part white vinegar (5% acetic acid) and one part rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol). Apply 5-15 drops of this “swimmer’s ear home remedy” into one ear canal. Tip your head (or lay down) for approximately 5 minutes to keep the preventive swimmer’s ear treatment inside the ear canal. Straighten your head and let the alcohol-acetic acid solution drain onto the towel. Dry your ear as in step one. Repeat with the other ear canal.

Turn that ear to the ground and wait
alternatively swallow your spit or chew gum or whatever to pop your ear drum - but keep the ear with water toward the ground.

blow dryer on low, but don't hold it too close to your ear, you don't want to burn yourself.
also there is Swimmer's Ear drops that you can get at Wal Mart
they dry out the ear.

If turning your head down on that side doesn't work, try hydrogen peroxide, it'll fizz up and push everything else out. It's also !00% safe. ... unless of course you do that all day.
