I use lenses whilst diving and have lost a few jumping into the water on occasion (without mask).
I've also had them pop out while diving so have swum to a rock to haul out on, retrieved errant lens from inside the mask and put it back in. I use continuous wear lenses and have had them in constantly for another 20+ days after them being in contact with the sea by doing this with no problems.
I'm not saying its right and that everyone would be fine, I'm sure there is an infection risk, but I'm ok.
