Some labs are more prone to this type of ear problems than others. I've also noticed that it is usually more of a problem when the weather is warmer.
If your dog is prone to this one thing I have found that helps keep the reoccurance down some is to trim some hair from by the ear to help increase air circulation. If you look at your dog's ear you will see the area I'm talking about. I've found it helps to keep the problem from coming back. Use a little ear wash after each swim and with the trimming you should keep the problem under control.
