You're not supposed to use contact lenses in pools or the sea - the water isn't sterile, bacteria could breed behind the lens, hey presto you could end up blind (or with half an eye/no eye)😳
If you're not going to get your face wet it's ok though ... but you DID ask specifically about swimming!😉
When I used to wear contacts I wore goggles over the top if I was going to get a wet face ...😕
Most pools ban glasses as well, so as a kid I used to be blind as a bat when I went swimming!😅
Now I'd wear my glasses anyway, OR invest in proper prescription goggles if I really wanted to swim properly and get my face wet 😎
