Swimming after getting your piercing is not a good idea. The water has a lot of bacteria in it which could cause an infection. It is recommended that you wait the full heal time before swimming, which is 6-12 months.

You might want to check with your coach or cheer captain first to be sure you won't be breaking any rules by getting it pierced.

Is it okay for your belly piercing not to pus after 5 days?

If your belly piercing has not started to puss by day five, then CONGRATULATIONS! This means you have done something right. I have pierced my own belly button twice. The first time it started to puss, I went to visit the doctor and he told me their was an infection. I then waited a few months later to try again. I am now on day 6 of my navel piercing, and it has not pussed. The best thing for it is leaving salt water on it for 15 mins a day, twice a day. And don't play with it two much, if you feel the urge to tho, make sure your hands are clean! Wash it in the shower too with anti-bacterial soap. This will speed up the healing process.
