Check the related links just below this answer, the site there will give you much more information about cleaning and infections with piercings. More info than I have space here to type it all in. Aftercare and infections, allergic reactions all seem the same but the information on my site will help you out with greater detail. Then you can go straight to the piercing after care section and follow the guild there for more help.

If you could swim before you got your naval pierced then you will still be able to swim afterwards, unless it is so huge that its weight drags your to the bottom. If you have just had your naval pierced it is probably a good idea to avoid swimming until the piercing has completely healed, to avoid any risk of infection. Once it has healed swimming shouldn't be a problem.
yes... that's what most people do.. you can even get a outtie peirced if you want
well mine did & its fine now :)
The South Carolina state law is that one must be 16 or older, to get their naval pierced. The reason for this is that any given person from 14-15 can still have a growth spurt and would damage the naval area if pierced.

Risk of infection, getting caught on clothing and whatnot, and regret. Also, during pregnancy, the skin will stretch, so you should use a longer, more pliable barbell than you normally would.
unfortunately not. you have to have parental consent or wait until you're 18.
Gauze pad taped over the navel is the only protection.
I don't know about Glasgow, but I got mine done at 13 (which is the minimum age) with my mum.
