Absolutely as mentioned by Sonali.<br>
Avoid sunscreen or any lotion initially if she is new to swimming. It hampers the grip when the coach holds her to correct her strokes making her slippery. <br>
There are some swim suits (scuba types) which cover the entire body. Check with the coach for the same. There will still be some amount of tanning. <br>
Best Wishes...

No care needed just make sure it's a safe and supervised activity. Sunscreen generally does not help in water and actually contaminates the water. Choose a timing when the sun is not very harsh. Be prepared for the skin to become dark and tanned for a few weeks post completing the class as this is the effect of the chlorine and other chemicals.
