Yes, is not a crime at all!!! What a joy to skinny-dip, Bare as one can be, Water felt on all my skin As it washes over me. To feel warming rays all over, lying in the sun, Remembering to rotate when one side enough is done. Naturist looks like you and I and come from all walks of life. You will find it to be a relaxing lifestyle that is free of the daily stress we all experience. Naturist groups like http://www.naturistmingle.com are looking for people who are open minded and want to enjoy the company of others of a like mind.

Did nobody read my comment?! Even the "great and magical and oh so wonderfully perfect" brits have issue with this: nude swimming thing. So yeah, perhaps the NY Times grabbed it. Nothing in this world is original. Everyone borrows. It's called 'inspiration,' and it's never divine.

I have been to hundreds of naturist swimming sessions at well over 20 different venues here in the UK. The youngest person working at one, he was selling food, was about 14. Lifeguards work from the age at which they are able to qualify as lifeguards which I think is currently 16. Quite simply the nudity is not an issue. A bikini is much more distracting than nudity. "Imagine what I am hiding under here." From this side of the Atlantic the only possible explanation is prejudice, ignorance or what is even worse pandering to the presumed prejudice of the public.

ho hum. Looks like the PI is just trying to cash in on the buzz around the NY times story last week about nudist vacation spots. Who cares? Must be a slow news day.

There was a similar problem in Manchester not too long ago. Similar, but not equal. Parents called it disgusting that a group of men would rent out the pool for a couple hours to swim naked. No child could see anything, but parents thought it was disgusting and a health hazard. Morons.
