DS lives in the water, so I feel like I need something with more "lasting power".

All sunscreens will stream off like that if you don't put them on at least 20 minutes before giving them time for the to be absorbed into the skin. What we do is I lather up my kids and then we get all our swimming stuff together and go to the bathroom. That gives it time to sink in. Or if it is lunch time, I lather them up and let them eat.

My kids are used to the 20 minute rule - even the 3yo

For our pale faced family, we still use sunscreen in the water between 12 and 3 or 4. Otherwise, we are like lobsters as we live in the pool in the summer
