...and follow the rules.
Playing by sun safety guidelines established by professionals in the field can potentially prevent skin damage.

• With the continued depletion of ozone, doctors now recommend using sun protection and avoiding long-term, unnecessary exposure to sun during peak hours (10am - 4pm). A combination of sunscreen and sun protective apparel is advised.

• Follow sun protection guidelines even on cloudy, cool, or overcast days. UV rays travel through the clouds, reflect off sand, water, and even concrete. Clouds and pollution do not filter-out UV rays.

• Cover up. The closer one is to the equator and high altitudes the risk of exposure to the sun's strong UV rays increases.

• Reapply sunscreen as recommended by the manufacturer. Children have thinner skin and underdeveloped melanin, therefore their skin can be damaged more easily by the sun. A high percent of lifetime sun damage occurs before age 18.

• Don't use light cotton shirts as protection for water play. Many typical lightweight cotton t-shirts and summer-weight fabrics can allow 50% of harmful ultraviolet rays through to skin when dry, and 10% to 20% more when wet.
