Methods to Removing the Water

• 1). Hop to it. One way to get water out of your ear is to stand on one foot and hop with your ear tilted toward the ground. Try this for a minute or so. If it doesn't work move on to the next solution.
  
  
• 2). Use alcohol. It's not good to put cotton swabs in your ears as you may damage the ear drums. Instead take a cotton ball that has been lightly dampened with alcohol and rub it around the ear. This should help evaporate the water within 30 to 60 minutes. You can also use a solution called Swimmer's Ear, available at drug stores.
  
  
• 3). Use an ear dryer. People who are in the water a lot--scuba divers, surfers and swimmers--can use Mack's Ear Dryer, a rechargeable ear dryer. This gadget is especially useful for kids who are prone to ear infections.
