Re: Sounds crazy but....
Frequent application is the key. A family friend works in the industry has told us that most high-SPFs and water-proof versions don't protect that much better than run-of-the-mill SPF30 No Name. To really be protected you need to re-apply every 45 mins to an hour and every time you exit the pool. He used to say that the SPF was really an indicator of how long you could be in the sun before needed to apply again. I don't think any sunscreen will damage the liner in your pool, it will dirty the water and filter faster.
