What would y'all recommend for kids who are in a pool for several hours? Wouldn't coconut come off in the water? I'm specifically thinking about my sons swim meets that are about 2 hours long. I won't have time for reapplying it because I'm incredibly busy getting the kids organized for each event. Would zinc oxide be better for that? I know the diaper cream zinc oxide typically stays on in water (at least ime having to scrub it off in the tub), but I don't know about the zo in sunscreen. I could use coconut for everything else and reapply it as needed.
Side note- I forgot to put sunscreen on ds1 last meet and he just browned didn't burn. I need to do more research, but does browning lead to cancer or just burning? I'm clueless as to how that works. I just use sunscreen around the pool and the kids typically play outside without any on
