Urgent Care Tacoma: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention of Swimmer’s Ear


Summer is here and the Tacoma Swim Club is rolling out a range of thrilling activities. You can join swim competitions such as the UPAC Mark Olson Classic on April 30 and the 1st Sockeye Spring Open on May 15. If you’re a beginner who just wants to have fun while beating the summer heat, you can also take swimming lessons at the club. While this sport is a good way to exercise and keep cool during the summer season, it comes with risks such as an infection called swimmer’s ear. Known in the medical field as Otitis Externa, this infection occurs in the outer ear canal that goes from the eardrum to the outside of the ear. It is caused by bacteria or fungi that you can find in bodies of water. Humidity during summer can increase the risk of infection as it affects the condition of the ear canal’s skin.
