    I got my belly button pierced and it took quite a while for it to heal. It depends on every individual some heal faster than others so, they tell you like 8 months but if you think your ready in a month then its up to you, so just keep it clean and make sure you don't feel any pain, and I think you'll be ready for the pool. :-)

    Is the pool clorine? If it is, its fine, you can go swimming, I got mine done and the peircer said its fine to go in the pool, because the clorine acually cleans the piercing. I've had mine done for two months now and its doing really goood, plus I go in my pool all the time :P
    Itt should be fine in a clorine pool

    The issue is with the sanitation level of the water-it is preferable to swim in the sea over swimming in a pool-the sea is naturally sterile-versus relying on a human to clorinate a pool correctly!

    Belly piercings are notoriously long healing piercings-if you move the jewellry and it hurts-it has not healed well enough to go swimming in an unknown (bacteriologically speaking) swimming pool.

    P.S. I have a belly pierce as well it took ages to heal and I'm meticulous with the piercing solution

    Hi. I has my belly button and my ears done about 2months ago. 2Weeks after having them done I went on holiday. I cleaned it every night and it was fine. I had more trouble with my ears than my belly button! 2months later and everything is good I had no trouble.
    Hope this helps.
