When can i swim again?

Question

i just got my bellybutton pierced yesterday how long do i have to wait to get back in the pool? or can i get in already but just clean it even more?

Answer 1

You can go into a chlorinated pool right away, just make sure you clean it thoroughly after your swim. I wouldn't go into fresh or salt water until it is completely healed.

Answer 2

well i got mine on saturday actually :)

and they told me to wait a week

im a year round competitive swimmer so of course i have to go back into the water

just make sure you clean it before and after

if you really want to not get it in thewater, then put a bandadge

and then a lage peice of duct tape over it

duct tape is water proof

oh and i learned a lesson today at practice... dont strech out!

i made a tiny rip on my bellybotton becaase i streached out very far when it was still healing!!!
