I need some advice from you OW veterans of which is the best waterproof sunblocks. There are so many on the market that I don't want to buy them and try them all and find out the hard way that they don't work. I currently use a brand called aloe gator waterproof 40+ gel which is suppose to last 8 hours. But I read somewhere sunblocks are suppose to contain something called Parsel or Titanium or something like that, and this aloe gator doesn't contain either.

    Originally posted by geochuck I never used sun blocks, never really bothered by the sun I love it. When I train open water I swim in the morning or late afternoon. Never swim near noon, sun rays. During a race I never give it a thought. I usually get a great morning or late afternoon tan before I raced. Even though I am fair skinned and have freakles on my back. Oh man, you are just ASKING for skin cancer. :( I use the Coppertone Sport sunblock when I cycle, ski, or swim and love it. It isn't all oily and it doesn't burn my sensitive skin like some other lotions.
