Ear wax remover: The druggist can direct you to ear wax removers, but since ears are delicate and hearing is a sense i'd hate to damage or lose, i'd probably visit a doctor or clinic so they could evaluate the reason. Swimming can introduce unknowns as can other activities i can't begin to imagine. Don't poke or pick your ears! that's a dangerous thing to do, but warmth may melt the waxy stuff if that's what it is.
