Just position your ear horizontal to the ground. The water will come out in 30 seconds or less.

here's a solution that works for me everytime
turn on water faucet to warm. run your finger in it. turn offending ear to the sky. take your finger and place in your ear so a few drips go in. wait a couple seconds, tip head other way. repeat as necessary.

Won't this create more water in the ear canal? Please elaborate as to how this helps?

siphon effect.
I sometimes actually plunger my ear if i'm in the pool. take my hand with my ear in the water and force it against my ear then bring my ear out of the water.. Works 9 times out of 10.

Alcohol usually works (not drinking alcohol) . People with "swimmers ear" suffer from ear infections from water staying in the ear. How do they fix it? They put an alcohol solution in there ear. My brother suffers from this frequently. Instead of buying the "swimmer's ear" stuff at the store so many times, we just get some rubbing alcohol. It does the same thing.

So you are basically forcing more water into your ear??? And then when it all falls out it takes the original water out with it?
I am so confused

Works for me everytime... I guess its just the surface tension vs gravity effect. Water is stuck in the ear because it forms drops due to surface tension. However as more water is added the drops break and all water flows out... I might be wrong on the theory, but it works in practice...

I've had the "pleasure" of swimmers ear for over 20 years...not fun.
Use either rubbing alcohol, or one of the swimmers ear products sold in the drug store. All are alcohol based, with a variety of other ingredients to help.
You can make your own, using a 50/50 mix of alcohol and white vinegar...
