Place a small amount of warm water into the ear where water got in, then tilt and shake your head while patting it with your hand . The warm water helps gets the other water out of your ear!

put a few drops of alcohol in each ear. It may not get the water out but it can sure help keep you from getting an ear infection

There are drops you can put in your ears to dry the water up, also a drop or 2 of acohol in each ear will help dry them out. I also make a suction cup out of my hand over my ear and plunge it like a toliet, sounds bad but works , for me anyways

Hopping on one foot with your head tilted over is one way that will work. Do it until you actually feel the drop run out of your ear. It's rewarding once it happens but can take a little while.

you can do this : shake you head right and left two times to the left and then stop and then one time and then stop all to the left (if the water enter in the left ear ) if the water enter in the right ear do the same but to the right way.

Put rubbing alcohol in your ear. Use dropper, tilt head, put in, tip head back over with tissue to catch the run out. Works perfectly, been doing all my life, not harmful at all.

Dip a Q-tip into some Peroxide and gently clean your ears. It will make a fizzing sound in your ears but it will be alright

Jump up & down & shake your head at the same time. If this fails, go to bed, you can guarantee when you are just drifting off to sleep, the water will decide to come out! LOL

try the following:
1. shake head vigorously
2. pull earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal
3. use cotton buds to absorb the water.

Tilt to one side and keep your ear so that the water comes out. Tilt to the other side and repeat.
