Can you swim 4 days after getting a piercing?
It is not advisable to swim for at least 2 weeks after getting a piercing, especially in a public pool. This is because the water in public pools contains bacteria that can easily infect a new piercing. In addition, the chlorine in the water can irritate the piercing and delay healing.
There are a few things you can do to minimize the risk of infection if you do swim with a new piercing:
- Keep the piercing clean by washing it with soap and water twice a day.
- Avoid touching the piercing with your hands.
- Avoid swimming in dirty or polluted water.
- Remove the piercing before swimming if possible.
