You seem to be having impacted wax inside your ear canal which might have swollen after entry of water causing blocking sensation in the ear. Wax needs to be removed under vision by a specialist
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can use Otorex ear drops to soften the wax so that ENT specialist can remove it easily
