If the angle of the sun relative to the surface of the water is less than 48.6 degrees you will not see the sun because the light will be reflected from the surface because that is the critical angle. The evening sun is lower than 48.6 degrees so it cannot be seen.
This was the textbook answer. In reality, the ripples on the surface of even relatively calm water will make it impossible to maintain that perfectly flat surface condition so you will see the sun as the angle of incidence occasionally exceeds that critical angle as the light strikes the ripples or waves.
For extra credit, you can explain that you can see the sun perfectly fine if you are holding a cup of water over your head.

How do you prevent water from running up the nose triggering panic while swimming?
Breathe out when under water, or hold your nose, or buy a nose plug. Practice bobbing: head up out of the water, take a breath in through your mouth, close your mouth as you bend your knees to duck under the water as you breathe out through your nose, continue breathing out as you straighten your legs and when your head is above water, open your mouth and breathe in. That's one bob: practice lots of them till you get the rhythmic breathing down.
