I'm not paranoid about using sunscreen, but it seems pretty obvious to me that slathering chemicals all over my skin and baking in direct sunlight for an extended period of time should be avoided. I've found that bringing a decent umbrella and wearing a big hat helps a ton, and just generally trying to stay in the shade. That and just reasonably limiting exposure alternating between swimming and relaxing in the shade.
