1. Try hopping on one foot, the same side foot as the ear (Right foot for right ear) while tilting the head sideways, with ear affected ear draining downwards.
Put in a few drops of rubbing alcohol in each ear. After that use a hair dry on cold or low warm, 12" or more away from the ear... let the warm air gently into the ear.

get your finger, place it in your ear and make a vacuum with your finger by pushing and pulling, in a moment the water should come out of your ear.This is a very effective method and has worked every time for me, if it didn't work, try this:
when you go to sleep, turn on the side where the water is trapped and go to sleep, gravity will take care of the rest by draining your ear.(This might leave a water/wax stain so put a towel over your pillow before you sleep).

call your doctor, they may tell you to get a syringe and flush your ears with warm water. You may also have an ear infection, so they may want you to come in to be checked out.

tilt your head withthe watery ear facing down and then bang the ear with no water in.
i saw it on tom and jerry, and, i, being the curious kid that i am, tried it and it worked.
NOTE: i tried it when i was about 7, notnow when i am 14! lol

put alcohol in your ears and next time use swimmers ear drops before swimming.

You can rinse it with rubbing alcohol, Ive heard that works.
But honestly, the best thing to do is just to leave it. If it gets sore, or is really bothering you, have a doctor look at it to make sure the ear drum wasn't perforated.

Try holding you nose and blowing air out. Turning your head upside down and shaking to the side helps too. See a M.D. is this does not work. - Dr.H

Use a cotton bud. It will absorb the water into the cotton.
