Can you tan under water

You can get sun burnt in the pool just like you can get sun burnt standing out side of it. As long as the sun's rays can reach your skin you are at risk. What you also have to understand is that the rays are bouncing off the water as well which is then reflecting back onto your skin, which means that you are actually getting a double dose of harmful rays. Bottom line....put on sun screen and wear sun glasses whenever you are out in the sun.
