Generally, it's recommended to wait at least 2-3 months before submerging a new belly button piercing in bodies of water like pools, lakes, oceans, or even bathtubs. Three months could be okay, but it depends on how well your piercing is healing.
Healing Time: Navel piercings can take a long time to heal fully, sometimes up to a year. Even if it looks healed on the surface, it might still be vulnerable to infection underneath.
Risk of Infection: Public bodies of water often contain bacteria that can cause infections. An infection can significantly prolong the healing process, cause discomfort, and potentially lead to scarring.
Signs of Healing: Before swimming, assess your piercing. Is there any redness, swelling, pain, or discharge? If so, it's not ready for swimming. It should ideally be completely free of crust and not tender to the touch.
Aftercare: Even if it seems healed, thoroughly clean the piercing with a saline solution immediately after swimming to remove any potentially harmful bacteria.
Consult Your Piercer: The best advice is to consult with your piercer. They can assess the piercing and give personalized advice based on its condition.
