you can go swimming at any time after you get it done even if its the day after. just make sure that you clean it before and after swimming. Don't go in the hot tub untill your peircing heals for it contains chemicals that WILL irritate the peircing

You honestly need to wait at least 4 months to go swimming, but you should be able to change the barbell within a month!! I got my pierced January 1st, and i'mbeing sent to boot camp in may, but my piercer said that i should be able to get in a pool or beach by then as long as i clean it!!

Belly button rings usually don't heal for up to 6 months to a year. If you swim in a pool it should be fine if it has chlorine in the water. If you swim in a lake put a water-proof band-aid over it.
