Well, here goes....3 weeks before the meet and my ears go to hell!!!!! :frustrated: Today after a good morning swim I got very familiar pain in BOTH of my ears which is much worse now!!!!! GRRRRR!!!! Anyway, I probably will call my doc tomorrow for more ear drops, but the question is: should I wait 5-6 days for the pain to clear or should I try and swim with ear plugs (of course if I can put them in without falling down). Any ideas? Or should I just do land exercises?
Thanks again in advance for your patience with me and all you help! :notworthy:

I came down with double ear infections 10 days before the 1995 LCM Nationals in Oregon. I was devastated, but with antibiotics, got them cleared up but couldn't swim for 10 days up to the meet. What I didn't realize was that I had been over training and my body needed the 10 days of rest. So, it became a plus as I did my fastest time there.
Do NOT swim with ears that are inflamed/infected/hurting.
