Considering how quickly my last 'Riley Riddle' was solved, I thought I'd try again:
My prefix causes you trouble;
My suffix, people have double.
My infix, you find swimming;
This can stop you from dripping.
What am I?

$\begingroup$ Could the suffix be Rot13(evat)? Because you can wear that (1) on your evat finger (2), hence double :P $\endgroup$– Mr PieSep 19, 2018 at 10:09

An ink blotter.
Prefix:
A blot or stain might get you in trouble with your mom
(I'm not sure how the suffix part works)
Infix:
an otter you find swimming and a blotter stops ink from running or dripping.

1$\begingroup$ Otter is actually forming the "suffix" , not the "infix" . This should be an altogether wrong approach. $\endgroup$ Apr 28, 2021 at 14:22

Could it be
Pottering.
Prefix:
Pot. Gets you in trouble.
Infix:
Otter. Swims.
Suffix:
Ring. The only one not sure about. Perhaps "people have double" because you often buy two rings, like in marriage?

I think the answer is:
feelings
my prefix causes you trouble
fee -- fees give people trouble.
my suffix people have double
lings -- is close to lungs. People have double lungs.
my infix you find swimming
eel -- a type of fish.
this can stop you from dripping
you go to the bathroom when your feelings tell you you need to.
