In general: Swimming with contact on is not a good idea. You may have a nasty eye infection. Please use googles and after the activity remove and clean the lens. Try to avoid to open your eyes under the water.
In particulaR: With sclerals the chance to loose your lens is lower than with other types of lenses. But the plastic of the lens could have problems due to the chlorine.
