Are you applying sunscreen or not?

Protection tips to those fair skinned like me when it comes to swimming under the sun. Most of us use only about a quarter of the sunscreen quantity needed to get the full SPF protection advertised on a label. To get the full benefit, you need to slather on a lot of the stuff - about 2 milligrams of product per square centimeter of skin. That translates roughly into about two finger length squirts of the sunscreen applied to every major body area. (head/neck, face, left and right arm, upper and lower bck, upper and lower front torso, left thigh/knee, right thigh/knee, left and right lower leg/foot) Feels like swimming? Good, you're now in the right track. Have fun!
