Question for you medical types

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.

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!

And they wanted quite a bit of money per ounce, compared to the cost of olive oil in the cooking section.

Well, I'm glad to know!
