What is how long after a belly piercing can you swim?

It's generally recommended to avoid swimming for at least 2-4 weeks after getting a belly%20piercing. This allows the initial healing process to begin without the increased risk of infection.

  • Chlorinated pools, oceans, lakes, and hot%20tubs all contain bacteria that can lead to infections.
  • Even after 2-4 weeks, consider using a waterproof bandage or a piercing sealant to protect the piercing when swimming.
  • Always clean the piercing thoroughly with a saline solution after swimming.
  • If you notice any signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus, pain), consult a doctor or professional piercer immediately.
