Take this for what it is worth, which may not be much. When I swam team as a kid, we used something called 'sweet oil' in our ears. Both before and after swimming. I only remember having swimmer's ear once.
Course, this was a couple of years ago.

Ear infections are the one time I take antibiotics without a second thought. Quite aside from the discomfort, if left untreated they can lead to hearing loss - I can afford any more of that!
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

A few weeks ago I actually saw sweet oil on the shelf at Walgreens while I was looking for something else. I checked the label on it out of curiosity, and it only has one ingredient... Olive oil!
