How do people who can’t see well swim without contacts?

You’re not supposed to sleep, shower or swim with contacts. Sleep- easy. Shower-fine I imagine. But how do people who can’t see swim? I don’t see people (ie adults) wearing goggles at the beach or pool unless they’re long distance swimmers. Do people wear prescription sunglasses to lounge in the pool? Like what is the deal?

You don’t need to see that well to swim, as long as you can see the edges of the lane/pool.

People with contacts aren’t blind without contacts. They can still see basic shapes and colours. If your short sighted you might even be able to make out faces up close.
