Doubtful: I would be very doubtful that this is really true. No sunscreen is waterproof they are only water resistant.

How often should sunscreen be reapplied if you're going to be outside all day?
How many times a day do I have to reapply sunscreen? Normal exposition (going for a walk in the city in summer)& applying 25% glyc acid on face
