Getting ear infection from swimming

Philippines
July 5, 2011 8:55am CST
Much as i wanted to go on a lot of swimming,I fear about getting an ear infection after the swim particularly in the pool. So when I can't just resist the pool mood, I just have to content myself from not submerging my head down. While in the beach, I fear that sands would enter my ears and become a culprit of this infection. Just the same, I haven't totally deprived myself from this. :)

If that is the case then you must wear EAR PUMP that you can buy in Speedo. I have that every since and I am always using that every time I swim.

you can buy a pair of earplugs.choose the sturdy earplugs so that water and sand won't get into your ears.I love swimming that I can't be contented without submerging my head in the water.I just buy a good swim cap for my hair,earplugs for my ear,and goggles for my eyes.

Well I got a fungal ear infection several years ago from the beach.Maybe the beach is so contaminated.Now I'm just choosing which beach or pool I'll go.It's better to be safe,some swimming pools and beaches have good reputation than the others.SO opt for those who have good maintenance.
