There are some ear drops you can get at drugstores that will dry it out.

headbang sideways!

u will need to lean to the side and add pressure so it will release the water that's kept inside.p.s. if u do not release tthe water thats trapped u will have a earcanal infection.

Tilt your head so that the ear with water is facing down and jump up and down,

Use an eye dropper to put a few drops of alcohol in each ear. That will help dry up the water and kill germs. If water still bothers you, lean your head to one side so your ear is facing downwards and jump up and down until the water drains out, then repeat the action on the other side.

pour alchohol in the ear and let it sit for 1 minute and then tip your head over.

clean out your ears witha Q tip adn it should soak up the water.

Ok you can do three things, you could use your hand as a plunger, jump up and down with you head tilted or you could use a qutip(but be careful with that one, because sometimes it could push the water back down).

tilt your ear down untill you feel warm water run out. its always worked for me so far.

Otitis externa (also called swimmer's ear or ear ache) is an inflammation, irritation, or infection of the outer ear and ear canal.

The same term is used for human and animal ear conditions, and this article covers both.

Two ways that are proven to work:
1-) When you go to bed, sleep on the side that the water is in your ear. If both your ears are water logged, alternate. The water should seep out onto your pillow by morning. This way does not strain your neck but takes time.
2-) Jerk your head to the side of the water logged ear numerous times. I don't reccomend this because it can injure your neck, but its usually faster.

Hold your head sideways and jump up and down until the water comes out.you can also drop a few drops of rubbing alcohol in your ear..when it evaporates the water will go with it.

My mom has this old-fashion way to do it, she learned it from her past family members. What you do is just take some water into your mouth and wait until it gets warm, then just take that water out and pour a few drops into the ear that has water stuck. Then wait a few moments and just turn your head down the side to let the water come out, it usually works with me. Hope it work :)

theres ear drops you can buy for swimmers ear. after swimming you put a couple drops, in one ear at atime and then keep your head tipped(laying down is good, with a washcloth) and then let it drain. these work great, i had horrible swimmers ear when i was a kid, i did this everytime i got out of the pool all summer long.

I shake my head side to side really hard. Like how they do on that movie "Night at the roxbarry". Its sounds dumb but, it works!

It is easy put a bit of water inside , tilt the other side and all the water will come out.

Other old woman remedy is : while showering get some water In a small container , put it in you mouth and spit it out in the container, then put this water in your ear and jump the other side , keep jumping and all The he water will come out.

it goes out by itslef!

you have to tip your head to the side of which ear has the water,and shake,.not to make yourself dizzy though.

They sell stuff at the store. I think it's called aerodry or something but there's more than one brand. I also think a hydrogen peroxide and vinegar mix might work. it might not dry them out but it'll kill all the bacteria

hop up and down and hold your head to the side and the water goes away, or yawn and you won't tell its in there.
