Anyone out there know if any great earplugs that prevent swimmers ear? I have tried some for about 1 month and got double ear infections. I have been out of swimming for 2 weeks and really want to get back in the pool any ideas?

I posted the below info in a thread from 2007:
Wanted: Speedo Ear Plugs (old style, catapilar) - U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums
-----------------------------------
I have found two styles that work well for me. They're not exactly like the "caterpillars" but they're close. Here is contact information for both manufacturers.

Aearo Company

Choose the selection that says E*A*R
Choose "premolded, reusable earplugs"
Choose "UltraFit"
Within the below PDF document, there is a comment about how you can get free samples at www.ultrafitoffer.com:

This company normally sells in large quantities through places like Grainger. I'll bet if you call them and explain why you want them they may sell them to you in a smaller quantity.

I bought these at a drugstore. They were indiviually packaged as "AquaSeal" ear plugs. They look like the style called "Smart Fit" on the below page.
