Best to wear a hat with a brim and a long sleeved shirt.

Should we go swimming with a hat? :)

I'm white enough that 5 mins of near midday sun gives me sunburns. In summer spf >30 is a must. Even day to day some sunscreen on my face and neck is a must.

Yes. I do! If I'm mucking around in the water at the beach I'm in long sleeve top, hat and sunglasses.

That's wading, not swimming
