If you went swimming it's possible you may have swimmers ear which is an ear infection brought on by bacteria that can be in the pool water. Sometimes cleaning your ear before you swim can make it worse because it takes away the ear wax that can prevent infections. I would see about getting to a doctor to get it checked out.
