    Some lenses can be worn while swimming in the ocean, however, there is a danger that the lenses will be lost. Also keep in mind that the water you’re swimming in may contaminate your contact lenses with harmful bacteria. You should consult your optometrist about swimming in the ocean with the lens type you are wearing.
