Best Answer

Wait until the wound is completely healed before immersing in water such as pools, lakes, oceans, and streams. All healing times are aproximate as every body heals differently, but the minimum healing time on ear lobes is usually 6 weeks, on cartilage 3 months. The reason for this is to keep bacteria from getting into the wound while it is still healing to help prevent infection.

Should I get my cartilage pierced. I am a swimmer on a team. How long do I have to wait until I can swim?

I would suggest that you wait until the end of your swim season and do it the day that season ends. I swim and got mine done in the beginning of my season, for the rest of it I could not wear my cap over that ear.

Can you swim in the ocean with newly pierced ears?

Sure you can. Ear piercings only go bad, if you don't look after them. Make sure you clean it with either antiseptic or warm salt water twice a day, and with clean hands twist the stud around throughout the day. Trust me on this one, I have my ears pierced twice on the lobe and three times on the cartilage (at the top and middle of my right & the bottom bit of cartilage on the left) and I swim 3 times a week for a club. Happy Swimming :)


Can you swim when you get your naval pierced?

If you could swim before you got your naval pierced then you will still be able to swim afterwards, unless it is so huge that its weight drags your to the bottom. If you have just had your naval pierced it is probably a good idea to avoid swimming until the piercing has completely healed, to avoid any risk of infection. Once it has healed swimming shouldn't be a problem.
