Rubbing alcohol works like a charm. Pour a cap full in your ear and wait a few seconds. The alcohol reduces the surface tension of the water so and makes it easier to get it through tight places like your ear canal. You don't need a special product. the generic alcohol in a drugstore works great.

I always get water in my ears! So usually I turn my head to the side that the water is on and jump up and down on one leg. Sometimes it takes a while but it comes out eventually.

Wax is trapping the water! Go to Walmart buy some Murine ear wash remover do what it says and the wax will come and the water! Does not hurt feels awesome. and P S I have tried everything. Do not do it to much you need some ear wax!

I remember last spring i got water in my one ear and it was so frustrating...i spent about two hours trying to think of ways to get it out. finally i used a q-tip and just massaged the inside of my ear until it came out...i do not reccoment doing this AT ALL my ear was hurting for days. if i were u and it wont come out i would just go to the doctor or call them and ask what you should do.

There is a product that is basically rubbing alcohol. That is made to drip into your ear after swimming. it mixes with the water and helps it to evaporate more quickly.
Otherwise my Grandmother used to do this weird dance after swimming where she would kick one leg out sideways and tipping her head to the side at the same time.

Place your head to one side, cup the palm your hand over your ear tightly, pull hand away quickly, you may have to do this more than once.

Use a hair dryer ...not on high because that could burn your ears.
A few drops of alcohol sometimes helps.
