How long before my child can swim after getting their ears pierced?

Summer holidays are a popular time to get your child’s ears pierced. However, we recommend that your child steers clear from any swimming pools or the beach for the first 2 weeks after getting their ears pierced, to prevent bacteria from entering the new piercing. If your child must go swimming, cover the piercing with a waterproof Band-Aid and spray the area with Sterilear Step 1: Clean afterwards to clean the piercing.
