You might be having swimmer's ear/otitis externa which is common after swimming due to infection and inflammation of external ear. Consult a nearby ent specialist for evaluation and treatment, he may start some oral antibiotics and analgesics and may put a icthymol glycerine ear pack for quick pain relief.
