The one thing to bear in mind, however, is a condition called swimmer’s ear: it can be pretty unpleasant and painful. Today, we’re going to take a look at this unique condition.
What is swimmer’s ear?
Swimmer’s ear (known by the technical name of otitis externa) is an infection of the outer ear canal that can cause both pain and discomfort. There is no age limit, so adults and children can both be infected.
Typically, the condition occurs in people who spend a lot of time in the pool, although it can also occur in people with diabetes or weak immune systems.
What are the symptoms?
Swimmer’s ear can occur in a number of different ways, but the main symptom is that the ear canal becomes inflamed, red in colour and sensitive to touch. Ear wax offers a protective layer against the water, but the water itself can wash this away.

How to combat swimmer’s ear?
