Unhappy My left ear is aching a little bit...

This year, I almost exclusively trained in swimming pools (max depth 3.50 m)

I went only once to the diving pit where I dove down to 20 m (without fins)...

I am taking part in Nice CIPA Open but I am a bit worried with my left ear...

Today I trained in a swimming pool with depths varying from 1.80 m to 3.50 m...

I usually push from the wall in an oblique direction ; no problem with equalization...

I did some duckdives in the 3.50 m part in order to train for the constant weight... I did no Valsalva, but kind of Frenzel...

After some duckdives I began to feel a pain in the left ear doing a duckdive...

The pain seems to be connected not with the depth, but with the speed of descent…

What should I do ?

Last week I had the same feeling...

Should I stop swimming underwater for a while ?
