Yes, because your piercing is still healing and open to bacteria. I would wait at least TWO months.

At three months the piercing should be healed, at least mostly. That means that swimming in chlorine will not affect it. Still steer clear of lakes and streams.

Can you swim with a navel piercing?
It depends on how old the piercing is. The chlorine that is in pools can dry it out and severely irritate it, so if it is still fresh (under 4 weeks old) I would not advise swimming yet. Under 4 weeks is a critical time in the healing process and you want everything to go smoothly.
Is neosporin good to ues on your belly piercing?
It shouldn't really have to use it unless its to help clear up infection or after you swim or something. If you do use it, get the cream and not the ointment. Make sure to rub it in well too. If you put it on too thickly, the piercing wont be able to drain/breathe properly.
How long do you have to wait to go in the pool after piercing your belly button?
2-3 months. Don't swim in pools, oceans, lakes, or anything else. Yes, the ocean has salt in it but it's also FILLED with germs. Swimming with a new piercing is just begging for an infection.
Risks of swimming with belly button pierce?
Don't swim in toilet bowls. After swimming in municiple swimming pools, wash the piercing. Stay out of lakes and natural bodies of water that have high bacterial counts, your local health unit will have the bacterial counts for the most popular lakes in the area. As for any activity where the piercing may become dirty, have a shower and clean the piercing. This includes being in the hot tub, wash the piercing out as soon as possible.
