So I want to do it … but I have a serious issue at hand …
Water gets into my ears and immense pain follows … i got my ears checked , I one had a perforation in the ear drum which was caused by rash landing of the plane a few years ago …
But it has now healed fully , yet the water gets into the ear … actually both ears 
I have tried putting vaseline dipped cotton balls in my ears and few other tricks but nothing helps …
any suggestions?
Re: Swimming ..
Have you tried swim ear plugs? That’s the only thing I could think of.

Re: Swimming ..
CB: It's not easy to avoid getting water in your ears while swimming. (Unless you do a breaststroke and keep your head up in the water but even then..!)
So, apart from ear-plugs, try getting a hardcore swimming cap that covers your ears, using eardry drops after the swim (If water gets into your ear so frequently, you need to be more careful to avoid "Swimmers ear")
PS: Whenever I get water, I would tilt my head on one side, and jump on one leg a couple of times. It takes out whatever water is in the ear.
