On another side of the coin, one of the best ways to protect your skin for swimming is to choose a bather that covers you and does not expose your skin to too much heat and chemicals in the water. A rash guard would be a nice choice for it conceals your skin, especially the arm portions which are the usual areas that get sunburnt.

Choose the right SPF for your skin which will be enough to shield you. Most especially if you are going to wear swimwear that discloses your skin, you need to put on some sunscreen to block the factors that might be dangerous for it.
[3] HOW ABOUT A SWIM CAP?
It’s very rare that you’ll see vacationists wearing swim caps while they swim. It’s because people usually think that professional swimmers are the ones who always wear such. People might also assume that you’re really good at swimming when you don’t even know how to. It catches attention, so you’re hesitant because people who swim for fun and for vacation purposes don’t usually wear that.
The truth, however, is that the swim cap is for everyone. It has lots of benefits as it protects your hair from the hazardous chemicals present in the pool water and gives warmth too. Swimcap also makes swimming more convenient for you since it keeps your long hair from going to your face and from blocking your vision. It also turns you away from possible accidents due to difficulty in seeing while swimming.
When your hair’s well-kept, you can enjoy swimming while not worrying about how your hair might be wrecking your beautiful summer look.
[4] SHOWER IS VITAL.
Taking a shower before and after swimming is necessary! Cleaning your skin with lukewarm water before dipping yourself in the pool is important. After swimming, showering again is much more important because you have to wash off of your skin all the chemicals from the pool and all the other elements you’ve gotten in contact with.
Most especially if you’ll be swimming in a public pool or with other people, you’re sure that you will encounter stuff you don’t want to encounter in the pool. Many of them are not visible to the naked eye, so it’s much more unpleasant to your skin.
