Found this on a website for you, hope it helps:
Dry ears thoroughly after swimming or showering.
Use a towel to dry ears well.
Tilt head back and forth so that each ear faces down to allow water to escape the ear canal.
Pull earlobe in different directions when ear faces down to help water drain out.
If there is still water in the ear, consider using a hair dryer to move air within the ear canal.
Put the hair dryer on the lowest heat and speed/fan setting.
Hold the hair dryer several inches from ear.
