Ultimately, it depends on what contacts you use and what your optometrist recommends.
For most people with soft contacts (hard contacts are now rarely used and offered up), swimming is fine. However, the user should not attempt to open his eyes under the water as the contacts would then easily slip beyond the eye and be forever lost.
When in the water, close your eyes when coming into contact with the water (i.e. going underneath the water, swimming across, splashing, etc.) to prevent the contacts from slipping out.
When doing vigorous activity in the water (i.e. intense swimming, diving, etc.) where one comes into heavy contact with the water, using goggles would be the safest bet. The pressure of the water could easily push the contacts out.

Can you see with contact lenses underwater?
yes, i heard that you can if you keep your eyes closed underwater and rub them after you come up, so no water gets in your eyes. Also another good thing to do would be to wear goggles...im going to try this today!! so good luck with yours... -No you can not , I have went to the optometrist and he said do not swim with your contacts on . The pool has bacteria even if has chlorine inside and you think it can kill all the bacteria but it can't , the ones it can't kill it will go into your contacts and it will give you an infection . I would not try this , it can get your eye infected and it will hurt . Yes you can with disposables contacts and swim goggles
