Should I go to a water park after getting a cartilage piercing?

I got my piercing done about a month ago on July 22 and it's fine right now. It doesn't hurt and I'm cleaning twice a day with antiseptics and soaking it with sea salt. My family is planing to go to a water park and I'm a little nervous about letting my piercing get wet.

1. it will be fine just make sure you clean it well after ward because even if it chlorine in the water there still germs and bacteria around put a small amount of ointment on it before you get it wet this will shell the water away good luck hope this helps
2. Yes it definitely should be fine. I am a swimmer and I got my cartilage pierced during swim season. I was swimming in the pool for about 5 days a week. When I came home from practice I would always get a shower then immediately clean it with a solution called Ear Care, which is basically the same as rubbing alcohol or antiseptics. It will kill all of the bacteria. It's been about 5 months since swimming season and it healed nicely and i haven't had any problems at all with it. You piercing will be just fine ass long as you clean it. =)
