You physically CAN, but I wouldn't... I wouldn't swim in anything only a day after. They can get infected by your clothes rubbing against them, I wouldn't chance a dip in fish poo infested water. It's not a good idea. You're almost certain to get an infection. I am lifeguard and a competative swimmer so I had to get back in the water within a week of piercing my belly button. I recommened using Tagaderm which is a clear bandage that moves with your skin and will protect it from anything in the water. You can get it from any Rite Aid or Walgreens type store in the bandaid department.

You should not go swimming with a fresh piercing. Whether you go swimming in a lake or pool, they both contain bacteria, protozoa, and parasites1 which can infect your new piercing.
In fact, it is recommended that you keep a fresh piercing dry as long as possible to aid with healing.
Please be sure to read piercing aftercare instructions and follow them carefully or you risk major infections, scarring, and loss of the piercing.

NO! Being a boy who likes boys makes you gay, or a girl who likes girls. No piercing, tattoo or fashion statement is standardized marker for gay identity. Pierce what you like!

Do you talk differently after getting a tongue piercing?

Does bellybutton piercing hurt afterward?
For most people after having their stomach pierced it wont hurt. However, some people may experience some pain. While it may not hurt right after having your body pierced, there could be some pain later on. I personally recommend that you don't rub/ lay anything over the area where you have been pierced as this has the potential to cause even more pain.
Does getting your right eyebrow pierced make you gay?

Should a guy get both ears pierced?

How many days after you get your industrial bar pierced can you go in the pool?
Go swimming right away just be sure to wash the piercings out once you are done for the day, be sure the pool is chlorinated.
How long do you have to wait until you can swim after getting your ears pierced?
Wait at least 2 months before you actually get the piercing wet. Before that, you can swim as long as you dont get your ears wet. Be sure to clean them well afterwards too. Water if filthy, and if you go swimming earlier, you increase the risk of infection.
