In ancient times, swimming was done in the nude, regardless of sex. It was not until mid- 19th century that nude swimming was nationally banned in the United Kingdom. Prior to the 19th century, it was not uncommon for men, in particularly the seafaring kind, to swim in the nude.
Swimming is a very popular activity among nudists and naturists. When you go swimming at ‘regular’ venues (clothed) you already wear very little. Removing those little bits of (often expensive) cloth makes for a much nicer experience, especially after leaving the water. Nothing sticks to your body, nor does it get cold when there’s a bit of wind. Skinny dip or chunky dunk are two of the terms naturists use to describing naked swimming. 1 The Evolution of the Bathing Suit
Those who prefer to do their swimming in nature frequent nude, naturist and clothing optional beaches. Though finding a favorite spot for a skinny dip or chunky dunk can be challenging some web sites and apps 2iswimnu.de can help in the effort.
naturist swims
Naturist swims are organized sim event usually held at indoor pool facilities. Many naturist organizations (particularly in Europe’s)sponsor regular naturist swims at community indoor pools or commercial water parks. These swims are most commonly held at public pools in urban and town centers of Britain, and Europe and in some places in Canada. In the US naturist swims are restricted by public stigma to polls located in clothing optional or naturist venues.
