Blu-Tack Ear Plugs & Swimming Not Safe
But the parents of one of my students told me that their doctor was very unhappy with the idea, so I thought I would mention this in passing to our pediatrician.
If I were to say that pediatricians are not fans of Blu-Tack as a substitute for ear plugs, I think that may be understating it a little.
What happens, apparently is that tiny little bits flake off and stay in the ear. Thus Blu-tack is not a good thing for anybody: but if your child has tubes in their ears the results of Blu-Tack flakes are untold complications. In short Don't Do It, there are plenty of earplug substitutes and lot of cheap effective earplugs so that you don't have to.
Enjoy

I personally find it very useful in many situations. It's use in swimming is Not something that is promoted or recommended by the manufactures.
