Welcome to Health care magic.

1. Its an infection after piercing, which is causing the symptoms and collection with in ( mostly bacterial infection ) commonly happened when done in bad aseptic conditions.
2.You may need to see your GP and get a course of antibiotic to treat the infection soreness.
3.Swimming has nothing much but make sure you dry it well, clean the area with antiseptic liquid in order to avoid new infections from pool water.
4.There are chances to get complicated if you leave it un attended.
5.Possibly piercing not suites your skin - avoid it for some time until it heals well. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
