Falling out isn't the problem, risk of infection is the problem.
It's suggested by piercers that you don't swim during the healing time of a piercing. If you DO, it shouldn't be as soon as a couple weeks. I'd suggest waiting at least a month or more, then you have to clean it IMMEDIATELY once you get out of the water. While the salt water won't have a negative on the piercing, too much of it while swimming that stays on after you get out of the water will irritate the hole.
So if you go swimming, wait a while, and clean it thoroughly as soon as you get out!

Yes you can go after a couple of weeks the only thing is that it still may sting because of the bleach/chlorine

That depends on the condition of ur piercing.If it's still bleeding/have pus,then u better not swim.If it has healed properly by then(no redness,bleeding or swelling),go ahead!
