The water is really dirty. I can't imagine getting that on your lenses is a good idea.

OP here, thank you! I did it today sort of by accident, I wear goggles, and I realized it may not be a problem.


I always do this! I do triathlons and would not be able to see without my contacts! I have really good googles.

I wear contacts, and my son wears glasses. Just a heads up that you can get single vision goggles for $36 on ACLens.com. He usually wears a bifocal, but for swimming, his ophthalmologist told us single vision would be fine. May be worth it if you worry about losing a contact, but need to be able to see!

Yes, I've done it for almost 30 years wearing goggles. I hate goggles, but what other choice do I have? Never had a problem.

I think as long as you wear goggles it should be okay.

I wear contacts in the pool twice per week. Never had a problem.

Nope, never. My contacts are $140 for one box of 6 lenses. That's just too expensive for me to have one float away.

Does anyone do this? I know it is not recommended but wondering if people do it anyway...
