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?

Just FYI, I started having problems with the cotton/beeswax/lanolin earplugs letting water in.
Then I figured maybe it was because it had gotten so cold. I theorized that perhaps they weren't entirely softened when I put them in, and as they softened up from my body heat, they started leaking.
So I put them in my pocket (I keep them in a little container kind of like an old 35mm film capsule) during the morning so they'd be nice and warm when they went in my ears.
That did the trick! No more leaks.
