How long before I can go swimming in a pool with my nose piercing?

I got my nose pierced exactly 1 week and two days today. My piercer said no makeup, pool, jacuzzi, or ocean for two weeks but I've been seeing a lot of different answers on this. They just confused me. It's healing relatively fast and it isn't red or anything. So is two weeks okay? I'm going to Las Vegas in a couple of days but Monday is my two week mark for getting my piercing...Is my piercer right and can I go swimming after the two weeks? :) Thanks in advance...

Oh....and if any of you are thinking of being rude and saying I shouldn't have gotten it pierced in the first place, feel free to click out of this question. Kaythanxbai!! <3

    you can wear make-up! i did just be careful. and you can swim and all that stuff, but i suggest getting an L stud if yours already isn't that way it Will be very hard for it to fall out. because if it falls out the hole will close VERY fast. and you can even change the stud now, just have very clean hands and jewelry. and try not to mess with it.

    Yea I believe piercer is right. If he said two weeks then go ahead. Just clean it when you are done again. I also have my nose pierced and I had no major problem with it. The only problem I had is that I have had it over a year and it is still not fully healed. I always have to have a ring in it or it tries closing up. yes I think swimming will be fine. Have fun :)
