I think I saw some recommendations for ear plugs in old threads here. I have never used these, but wonder if I should. If you swim for many years and never use those, would it be likely to cause any problems to the ears? Thanks for participating the pool--oops, the poll. :)

I've heard quite some people recommending ear drops. I have never put any liquid in my ears in my life, so it makes me think putting ear drops in the ears is like putting water in it, making it worse. Perhaps the drops evaporates quickly?
Auro-Dri is isopropyl alcohol and glycerine. The alcohol has a drying effect which is supposed to help any water trapped in the ear dry up. I used it and never had any problems with it, but I have no idea if it was beneficial or not.
When I was an age grouper I remember one of the team moms taking a hair dryer to her kid's ears to dry up the water.
