Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Even under cloud cover, use sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 generously and reapply frequently post every swim or outdoor exercise. Attention! UV radiation is markedly stronger with water and sand reflections.
