You need to wait 4-6 weeks after you get the piercing before you go swimming. The first 4-6 weeks are a critical time in the healing process, and during this time your piercing does not need any added irritation. Chlorine is very drying to your skin, which can cause your piercing to flare up and becoming irritated.
In addition, do not go swimming in lakes or rivers either. Lakes and rivers are treated with any disinfectant, so they have a lot of bacteria in and around them. If bacteria comes into contact with your new piercing, it could become infected.

∙ 15y agoRight after you get a piercing, your priority should be to keep it as clean as possible. Swimming in a public pool or lake might not be the best idea. If you do swim in a pool, make sure to clean it right after you get out. Even if a pool is kept clean, there's all kinds of other stuff in there and too much chlorine contact with the wound could irritate it.
