New nose piercing...help:')?

I'm getting a nose peircing soon (this or next week) and also going on holiday to ibiza in a months time, will it be alright to swim with it in by then? In a pool and the sea.

And would it fall out in or out of the water..if so is it easy to get back in?

And is it easy to get infected?

Sorry to ask so many questions, im just worried that it will get infected..thanks ^^

    Heyy there, I just got a nose piercing a few weeks ago. And let me tell you ask for the L shaped nose ring, because there is a corksrew one, and if it comes out, it so hard to get back in! It is perfectley fine to go swimming with it, just as long as you wear a bandade over your nose, or cut a square of it and put it on. I advice you to use the material one though and not the waterproof bandade, because they dont stick as well. They shouldnt get infected unless you take it out before at least 8 weeks. And clean it twice a day, also another good tip is to wear a bandade to bed, because they can comeout realy easy, and can close up in like 30 seconds during the first few weeks. And when cleaning your nose, metalated spirits is the best! Its so good. Hope I helped and enjoy your nose ring!

    As long as you have had the piercing for a full 3 weeks before hand kept it clean ate correctly and kept hydrated you'll be fine. As for the piercing falling out as long as you are a little careful it'll be fine since its new the hole will try to close so it'll be tight just make sure you clean it before and after you go in the water and everything will be ok.
