Swim Lessons

M and W have swim lessons this week and next. We have not done swim lessons for a couple of years, so we needed to again. They are enjoying them a lot. We have been using homemade drops to guard against swimmers ear. We like to take this along on vacations too-seems someone always gets sore ears if we do not use it. Here is the recipe:

Swimmer's Ear Drops

vinegar
rubbing alcohol

Mix equal parts in a small clean jar and put a few drops in each ear after swimming. Drain. The alcohol will sterilize and dry the ear canal and the vinegar will kill bacteria. This is a good preventative. Do not use if the ear is already infected.
