This past year, DH was diagnosed with melanoma. Fortunately, we caught it early, but I am now more concerned about my DC skin protection, especially with swim team. We are good about applying sunscreen (Vanicream Sport, California Baby or Blue Lizard) and the kids wear rash guards at the beach. DS and DD1 swim year round, but their practices in the late afternoon/evening. With it staying light later and summer swim team around the corner, I started searching for rash guards for practice (not meets) but did not see anything recommended for competitive swimming (we want as little drag as possible). I would appreciate any recommendations for particular brands/styles. TIA!
