Earplugs for swimming
Keep water out

Comfortable, dry ears in the water

Water trapped in the ear canal softens the skin and creates the warm, damp conditions that lead to swimmer's ear. Swimming earplugs keep water out so you can enjoy the pool or the sea without the after-effects.

They're especially worth it if you swim often, have had ear infections, or have grommets.

Your options

Three ways to stay dry

Mouldable putty

Silicone putty presses over the canal opening to form a quick, soft seal.

Custom-moulded

Made to the exact shape of your ear for the most secure, comfortable fit.

Vented filters

Let you keep hearing and equalise pressure while still blocking water.

Stay healthy

Preventing swimmer's ear

Earplugs plus a few simple habits keep ear infections at bay.

  • Use well-fitting swim plugs
  • Tilt and dry ears after swimming
  • Avoid cotton buds in the canal
  • Dry with a towel, not fingers
  • Consider a swim cap over the ears
  • See a specialist if ears stay blocked
For families

Children and swimming earplugs

Children are especially prone to swimmer's ear and to ear infections after swimming, and they're also the most likely to have grommets - so well-fitting swim plugs are a smart move. Soft, mouldable putty works well for younger children, while custom moulds suit keen young swimmers.

If your child has grommets or a history of ear problems, it's worth a quick chat with us about the best option before they're back in the pool.
