put ear plugs in during practices and meets. you should be able to swim. i think mine were 0.99$ for 2 pair and their are reuseable

right but i gotta cure it first...

thanks for the advice guys but i went to the doctor and i have a wick in both my ears.... this sucks but theyll be out by wednesday.
 
Once you get it cleared up, use rubbing alcohol on a Q tip after you're in the water to help keep them dry. It's a trick I have my divers do so they don't have that issue.

got it... would peroxide work as well?
 
Hydrogen peroxide helps. When ever I get that I use it and it works the next day. I put it in with a Q tip.
