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:

No problem with pressures. That only happens when you go deep, plus 8 feet mininum. You don't EVER want to wear ear plugs when diving deeper than 7 to 10 feet, because you need to equalize the pressures in the inner ear with outer ear. No problem with swimming though. billy fanstone
