Tiffany C	no no don't go swimming. Put your aloe vera or some lotion in the fridge, and apply it whenever you are feeling hot...it will be cold and it will feel so good. If you go out swimming, even with sunblock, it will just hurt your skin more and you will have to wait even LONGER so just let it heal right the first time and get a stronger SPF next time. Watch a movie in front of the AC, and stop crying because it is 110 here! lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gentle giant	If it still hurts, I would not go into a swimming pool with all those chemicals. If you are going swimming elsewhere I would think it would be OK. Slather on the waterproof Sunscreen half an hour before going out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LA :0)	1. Swim either early in the morning or late in the evening. * The sun causes the most damage to your skin between the hours of 10am and 4pm 2. Wear Sunscreen on your entire body. 3. Apply Sunscreen 20-30 minutes before sun exposure. 4. Reapply waterproof sunscreens every 80 minutes or so, after being in the water. 5. Protect your scalp. * Wear a swim cap to protect your scalp from the sun. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Awesome Kai	yup put sunblock on...a lot of it. and also there is this lotion its called "after sun lotion" or something like that. put it on after you go in the sun or on a sunburn it works for me!!! :) or or aloe vera. that stuff is good on sun burns Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sendricardo	Hmmm....to keep things "safe" I'de rather wait another one or two days because now ur skin is most vulnerable, Im sure there will be many more hot days for u to go wild in the sun! lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Quasimodo	Yeah you can. Watch out for melanoma. I went for years not wearing a shirt in the summer (I'm a guy of course) and had to have one removed. See a dermatologist once a year and get checked. Trust me...you'll be glad you did. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mommymonster	Put lots of olive oil on it so you won't peel as bad. You can go swimming, but it will be murder on your skin. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cosaxteacher	Of course a sunburn doesn't go away in 1.5 days. It takes longer than that. Yes, you can go swimming, but keep your skin protected with a lot of suntan Lotion and keep re-applying. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

1big teddy graham	Poor thing . . . not such a good idea for the swimming though. Unless it is in the already peeling mode, then don't do it! If it is almost gone, then put on some strong, waterproof sun screen and have fun! Reapply it every hour or so though. Trust me, you don't want a burn on top of a burn. Besides, you should watch out for skin cancer. Protect your skin, leathery skin is not attractive. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cute.teapie	olive oil Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

crazy_4_monkeys_2	i would say put a ton of Sunscreen on. after that dries put alot of aloe vera on the sunburn. after that dries you should be all set. drink a ton of water so your skin does not get to dried out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jonathan T	sounds good. but... You need 24hrs in the cool, plaster on loads of after sun, over and over. I mean u should use a whole bottle. plenty of water. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CHARLY	Yes----just go get some spf 30 lotion first!!!!! Also pickup some pure aloe vera lotion---get these both at your local Dollar Store/Dollar General/Walmart-----put the aloe on later after you have had your swim and have washed off all the Sunscreen.....it is sooooo cooling......I just got burned Thursday...dumme went out at high noon....but the aloe takes out the burn and can keep you from peeling..... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sweetdreamer	Sunburn usually takes a week or more to either tan or peel. What I recommend is using aloe vera, it will soothe and cool your skin, especially before going to bed. Also HELL YEAH go swimming! Have a blast in the pool......Just don't forget to apply Sunscreen! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
