I got my belly button pierced three summers ago and...?

so ive had my belly button pierced for three years now and last summer i took it out for a week because i was on vacation at my lake and i didn't want it to get ripped out when i was tubing and water skiing. After my vacation when i returned home and put the ring back in the hole had closed. I decided not to deal with it and left it out all year up till now. Im deciding to get it re- pierced tomorrow and was wondering if it would be a bad idea to do that bc i heard it can cause infections easily?? if you have had a bad experience about that please let me know!! :)
