[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely loved swimming in the ocean from childhood through my 20s. So much, that I went to school for marine biology and spent a lot of time volunteering to help with things like dolphin research. But now in my 30s, almost 40, I’m a lot more afraid of skin cancer. I’m of Scandinavian descent and very pale. I wear a rash guard, but that still leaves my face, neck, and legs out. Even with sunscreen it worries me. So I try to avoid direct midday Sun as much as possible. I try to do my beach vacations in winter when the sun isn’t as strong, and stay under an umbrella as much as possible. [/quote]
