Yes. Water is filled with germs and thats not good for a new piercing. It really increases the chances of infection. If it gets infected, you could end up with permanent scarring or disfigurement of the cartilage in the area. Just wait 2-3 months to put the piercing in the water. You can go swimming as long as you dont get the piercing wet. Cover it with a bandaid to prevent any water from being splashed on it and clean it well afterwards.
