When would a piercing get infected ?

Question

If I went swimming with a piercing that’s not completely healed and it were going to get infected how fast would it happen ? Like when would I know it’s infected ?

Answer

When it's red, weeping, crusty, sore or has pus.

Answer

Within a few days. I went in a hot tub at 16 with a new belly button piercing (back in the early 2000's so I'm not sure if this was common knowledge)
Long story short don't do this. Avoid any kind of potentially contaminated or chemically treated water until you are completely healed.
