  Well, it seems that you are going to swim, good for you. So, as to your question, I would say, yes, probably. The reason why you might have some bad impacts on your eyes is that some swimming pools are not refiiled and cleaned on a regular basis. Some businessmen want to cut their costs. So, your eyes might be infected if you have no goggles when swimming. So, I suggest you get a pair of goggles, just in case.
