Swimming with contacts?
This winter I am going to an indoor waterpark with my youth group. I just got eye contacts! Can I where them to the waterpark?
Answers:
Ok...if somebody were to have pink eye and go swimming in a pool that of course had chlorine?
I am a contact-wearer and avid swimmer (9 years of swim team)I do wear my contacts in the pool. I try not to open my eyes as much because the chlorine does dry them out. Usually I wear goggles when I am swimming laps. The water doesn't get in my eyes. If you're going to a water park you're probably going to be in wave pools and slides and such. I'd say you're going to be safe wearing your contacts. Bring a spare pair, as well as your glasses just in case. You'll also probably want some re-wetting drops since the chlorine dries out your contacts.
Basically
*Don't open your eyes underwater a lot
*Don't rub your eyes (increases chance of knocking one out)
*Have spares and glasses just in case.
Mainly, don't worry about it and have fun. If one falls out don't try and put it back in though.. it'll be ruined.

No, I hear that it's Dangerous! please don't Do it!
I Wish you luck with your investigation!

Yes, you can wear them. However, there is a possibility that they will "drift out" while you are swimming [if you open your eyes under water]. To be on the safe side, wear a pair of goggles, and have fun!
Should i buy a speedo just to buy one?
bad idea they will just fall out I would get those goggles that are like glasses but they are gogglesu can wear you contacts just be care full but it u are doing a lot of under water swimming u might want to get some prescription goggles. good luck
How do I dry my wetsuit booties?
Absolutely not!The germs in the water will contaminate the lens; any chemicals (such as chlorine) added to the water will get trapped behind your lens and irritate your eyes.
Some people advise wearing daily disposables to a pool, but I do not recommend even that.
ALSO, the lens are much more prone to coming out of your eyes if you are submerged.
Are there any good drills to improve my butterfly time?
NO! they r most likely to fall out!Why are people so concerned about other people's swimwear?
since you just got them your power is probably not very high so its better to take them off beforeor you could wear googles or close your eyes underwater but you don't wanna look wierd in a water park. its harder and not fun to close your eyes
Shaving of bady hair for increased speed?..( I mean..EVERYWHERE)?
I've been swimming with contacts for about 10 years now and have never had a problem. Just wear a good set of goggles and you will be fine. You can even get the dark tinted ones to cut down on the glare.Dose any one think swimmers are cool or fun?
I wear my contacts while diving all the time. You just have to make sure you clean them really well after! It shouldn't be a problem. BUT, i would call my eye doctor if you have any major concerns.Have fun,
