∙ 14y agoThe most likely ear infection will be an outer ear canal infection (or swimmer's ear)
Outer ear canal infection is largely caused by bacteria or fungi. Moist and wet conditions in the ear can stimulate infections (swimmer's ear). So a lot of swimming, excessive bathing or frequent exposure to water grows your chances of infection
Indirectly if you get a cold or another infection after swimming you could also get a middle ear infection, but that's very indirect
