Hi Bernie Re: swimming - if you wear goggles you'll be fine. Water can contaminate the lenses in such a way that nasties grow over a few days that the cleaning solution won't kill. But if you wear daily disposables and try to minimise the amount of pool/shower water that gets in your eyes I reckon you'll be fine. That's what I do when I swim.
Once you settle with a lens prescription buy the replacements on-line, much cheaper than from an optometrist. (Bless the internet).
