weeks after your piercing.
And while that is about ear piercings, nipple and ear piercings both break skin integrity and so present the to risk of infection.
According Nhs.UK any water including lakes and hot tubs can cause harm. Harm including massive life threatening infections that can lead to death or disability. And states:

healing, it's important to keep the piercing dry as there's a risk of
infection.
