My doctor told me to mix in a dropper bottle 1/2 rubbing alcohol to 1/2 white vinegar and put a few drops in each ear after swimming to dry out the water...
But if you already have swimmers ear and your ear is really bothering you, you should probably see a doctor because they can give you prescription drops, or yesterday I thought I just had swimmers ear when actually I have an ear infection which requires an antibiotic, because when he looked in my ear he said that it was ready to pop and if it does do that I can't swim for at least a week, so just go to the doctor's to be on the safe side.
I hope this helps.

Mix a little vingar, and rubbing alcohol into a ear dropper and tilt your head to the side and put thee drop into the ear let it sit for a few then turn your head to the other side to let it come out it should dry out the water in the ear you should countiue to do this twice a day for about 3 days if it does not improve then you should see your doctor

Your best bet is to see a doctor. You might think you have water in your ear but it could be something worse.

You can tilt your head to the size of the ear that is clogged and hop/jump til it pops.
Or you can go to the doctor and they can do an ear wash for you.
