I wear contacts everyday and if i'm doing swimming will i need to remove them?

Question

Do I remove the contacts and put them in the case or just wear them while I'm in the pool (For 1 hour)..Please help!
Many thanxx!

Answer 1

Either way works if you keep them in you need to make sure your wearing goggles that keep water out and if you take them out then you don't need to worry about them coming out

Answer 2

I wear contacts while diving, and my instructor was very understanding about the water in the eyes thing. Never really had a problem with them, but I have noticed that being around salt water has made them wear out quicker. Could just be my imagination.

If you are far-sighted, Dive-Optx is a wonderful suggestion. But, they only come in "+" prescriptions.

If you are nearsighted, think about getting a prescription mask. Most dive shops will stock prescription lenses for certain masks (2 window masks), but can probably order the lenses for the styles they don't stock. If you have a single window mask already, you can have the lenses ground for you and bonded onto the existing glass. Costs a little more, and you will have to be without your mask for a bit, but it might be worth it.

Answer 3

When I was on swim team, I didn't take my contacts out. My goggles didn't let any water in, so there was no reason. If you don't have goggles or if they are very leaky, take them out. The chlorine will eat it up or it will come out of your eye if you try to open them underwater.

Answer 4

Just get a good pair of goggles and if water leaks while in a race close your eye and try to keep the other open.
