I've been aware that contacts stay on and use them regularily when diving with a mask, but I've also been under the impression that when they come in contact with water (pool or sea), they are "contaminated" and that is something you should avoid.
So I'm not sure that using contacts for the purpose of "protecting the eyes" is really useful, in fact I've always thought it's the opposite. If they come in contact with water, you should take them off first chance you get. I guess the problem is something like if water get's stuck between the eye and the lense, all kinds of nasty things start to happen.
Might be wrong, but just thought I'd warn you.
