Question
Hello, April
I go swimming usually during the weekend (usually 1 or 2 times a wk)
when i swim, i only wear my swimming suit and swimming googles, without any protection for my ear
is it possible that i could get some ear infection if i dont wear any ear protection??
Thanks
john k.
Answer Hey John,
Yes, it is possible, but there is a very very small chance. Unless you have a skin reaction to chlorine or something, I don't think you should worry about that. In all my 14 years of swimming, I have never gotten an ear infection from the water.
