What exactly IS swimmers ear...?

[Buffy obsessed fan]

Okay, so Andrew's line in Chosen 'I have swimmers ear' is one of my favourite lines in the whole series, 'cause it's so random, I get it, Just one question...What IS swimmers ear? I asked my Mum and she was like 'Well, uh, it's something to do with your ears' which, yeah, got that part :p But what is it...?

Here's a helpful article from BBC health -
BBC - Health - Conditions - Otitis externa (swimmer's ear) (http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/otitisexterna2.shtml)
