Swimming is a great way to relax and get in a good workout at the same time. But, chances are good that when you go swimming, your head will end up completely submerged underwater.

Without proper protection, this can expose your ears to water and allow moisture to enter the ear canal. The more frequently this happens, the greater chance you run of developing swimmer’s ear. Just like with any physical activity, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to ensure you’re safe while enjoying yourself.

  1. First, you should never stick foreign objects into your ears. Not only can this push debris and compact wax more deeply into your ear, you can also easily damage the ear canal. 
  2. You should also avoid swimming in water that may have high bacteria levels. The higher the bacteria level, the greater the chance of infection.
