Navel piercing and swimming help!?

Question

I got my navel pierced two days ago. It's not red, sore, or pussing. I just got invited to go to my friend's pool to go swimming. It has a salt water filter (not chlorine). I don't HAVE to go, but it'd be boring if I didn't. What should I do?

Answer 1

Even still it's not a good idea,it's not clean water. So you'd get an infection.

Answer 2

My son's got infected when he swam after 2 weeks.

Stay out of the water.

Answer 3

You really shouldn't swim until your piercing is fully healed. It's only two days old, and all the c**p floating around in the pool will not be healthy for your piercing at all. It could cause infection pretty easily.

It's up to you, but if it were me, id risk being bored.

Answer 4

It could dry it out a lot. Don't put your head under the water?

Sea salt solution is used to clean piercings, but too much dries them out.
