Pain near TMJ: This sounds like a possible ear infection, but it is impossible to diagnose accurately without a clinical examination. See your physician or an ENT specialist for an examination.

Possible: you can not rule the Tmj issue with your history, but swimming in the cold water could have triggered something, it is possible that you are just having an ear infection. Please consult with your medical doctor and with your Tmj specialist.
