Well, if you must experiment on yourself, do it cautiously.
My experience was this:  I once played a little water polo in
a chlorinated pool.  No open eyes under water, just splashed
water in face.  One (regular soft) contact folded up and out
onto my eyelid.  So I retired to the locker room to put both
into a case.  *The other contact was very reluctant to slide
around or come off.*  Flushing with saline helped get it off.
I presume that it was some kind of saline imbalance that caused
this.  But you won't find me wearing contacts in swimming pools
any more.
