My wife just took my daughter to get her naval pierced. She is a varsity cross country runner and practice starts in about 3 weeks. How long does this take to heal and can she continue to train? I am not liking what I am reading when I am searching online but thought there might be some first hand experience here on the boards. Thanks.
Bad luck. Naval piercings typically require ~18 months to fully heal. Your daughter will likely have to skip several seasons of running, putting her significantly behind her peers.
Battleship or destroyer?
My son is getting his naval pierced as well. I see athletes in the post season meets wearing the midriff style uniform, would they allow him to pull up his uniform top, maybe tie a knot in the side so that there's nothing rubbing after he gets the piercing?
I don't know, ask Jamin.

OMG IT'S NAVEL. NAVEL. IT'S A NAVEL.
NAVAL MEANS "PERTAINING TO A NAVY".
Shheesh.

A a former Navy guy, I would have to admit that I have done a naval piercing or two on young ladies. I am not sure how this might relate to a navel piercing, but I am willing to speculate. As a parent I think that you really don't want to contemplate how this might relate to the train or pulling it. I suggest that you direct your questions to navel maneuvers, and can assure you that from my standpoint that naval piercings are much more satisfying than a hand experience. I hope this is hepful.
The Navy doses not pierce women despite the stories hinted at above.
Please tell me you don't homeschool your kid.
My brother does tattoos and piercings, and he says that it shouldn't impact running performance unless it gets infected. Biotin supplementation may be a good idea to speed the healing. Does your daughter eat a healthy amount and get good sleep? These factor into the healing process.
