I am going to play water polo but I have glasses. I can't see well without them. Should I get contacts? But if I do, won't they fall out because you can't have goggles?

wearing contacts should be fine considering that you're head is above water the majority of the time. the only bad thing i can say about wearing contacts during water polo is if you get hit in the eye (it is a very aggressive sport) it could cause the lenses to fall out and if theyre hard lenses it could cause the lens to move off position in your eye so i would recommend soft lenses. but that rarely happens.
there are also lenses that you can wear at night while sleeping which pushes your eye lenses back so when you take them out in the day you can see clearly without wearing anything on your eyes. there are two types called ortho k and paragon crt. i heard the paragon crt lens is more advanced but i would ask your eye doctor about what he or she recommends.

You CAN wear your contacts in the water. If you get contacts, make sure you get soft lenses. Better yet get one-day contacts that you can just throw away. If you re-use your contacts, make sure to disinfect them after you use them!! Hope that helps!

They shouldn't. People wear contacts all the time in sports.
