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:

If you really need to keep water out of your ears , ear plugs by themselves dont work too well because if they loosen water gets in and trapped inside.
Cutting off a cap to make a swim head band works very well .The trick is to keep it pulled low over the ears. You can cut it off little by little till its right. Some people can pull a silicon cap low over their ears for example, but most cant unless its cut off a bit.
Worn under a strapped or regular cap pulled low its very watertight good for ears and hair too, and with the addition of ear plugs no more ear troubles.
