I used to get ear infections when I swam often, I started using
stuff called "Swimmer's Ear" afterward and never got them again.
It's an acid solution diluted with alcohol. The concept is the
acid reacts with the water causing it to evaporate, the
alcohol dilutes the acid so you keep your ears, and the alcohol
also evaporates.
I also tried various ear plugs, but they never stayed in.
Although I could hear through them quite well.
Good luck,
