Skinny-Dipping/Swimming Naked!
“On being a skinny-dipper (nude swimmer):
The only requisites on being a skinny-dipper are the skills and techniques of swimming and the aquatic (water) safety. A paramount rule (non-negotiable) is no clothing allowed!” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~ 23 August 2020
Sometimes, so many words are used to describe, explain and identify naked swimming when the only essential wording is the activity itself: naked swimming. Nothing else is really necessary to educate us on true meaning of the event/relaxation exercise. An aquatic adventure that is engaged in without attire, without care and especially without embarrassment or guilt!
Too often, we find ourselves involved in detailing descriptive phrases and accounts that only complicate the basic understanding of the actual action. Skinny-dipping and naked swimming are synonymous with one another. They are the same. There is no difference between them. Two conditions are required: The first is the need for water – to enable the swimming. The second is the need for no clothing, covering or garment – only nakedness.
The only item covering his skin is the sand on his buttocks. That can be attributed to his use of sunscreen to protect his skin from potentially harmful sunrays. The use of any type of skin protection does not compromise the bare/nude status of the person.
Bare skin and water are the only absolutely mandatory requirements for naked swimming. The water source can be either man-made (canal, pool, etc.) or can be natural (lake, ocean, river, etc.). It can be an enclosed location or out in nature. No distinction is needed; it is the preference of the persons involved!
As the end of the summer of 2026 approaches those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, my spouse, Aaron and I encourage you to consider engaging in swimming naked before the weather changes!
Naked hugs!
