Dutch: naaktzwemmen

not being one to pass up on a new search term, I plugged this into Google and out popped this set of pics. Here is the link:

Dutch maybe is not so hard to translate into English when they have words like "wereldrecord" :) OK, even I can translate that! So thats great, because not only do we have a skinny-dip (naaktwemmen or "naked swimming"?) but apparently a world record attempt as well. But in the translating department, this is as far as I can go. Its going to be up to guys like Stevin6 and simonlintworm to tell us all where this took place and when, and, most importantly, when are they going to do it again!!??

Ok, now things get complicated :). The website you mentioned is a Belgium website (note the extension of .be). The language on the website is Dutch, but the subject is an attempt to break the world record for skinny dipping in Oxfordshire. I don't know when they will try it again

BTW, this is a great video from Gisborne!

Gisborne Skinny-Dipping
 

Some pictures of the world record

2012
 

While searching for Dutch skinny dip pics i came across a few pics of the 2012 new years skinny dip held at the Twiske lake just above (10-20km) the city of Amsterdam.

Zandvoort 2013
 

Found another 3 pics of the "blote nieuwjaarsduik" (nude new years skinny dip) held at the well known nudist beach of Zandvoort at the North Sea. Unfortunately they are small.
A few more pics are on the website naaktstrandje.nl and for those who are member of the Dutch naturist federation and registered at the small secluded member section, they can see 172 pics. But notice that also pics of the location, the big party tent, the sea, some children, spectators, organisation etc. are inlcuded in those pics. I guess there were 75 -150 volunteers and only a few interesting woman and more men then woman.
;)

thanks, guys for all the add-ons...

Below is a rather small pic from Papamoa, NZ where they attempted the record on Dec 2..

But seeing those pics from zaanfort got me thinking - a lot of well known nude beaches now have an annual skinny-dip as part of some record attempt (or maybe not). But that is something we could list here so that everyone with a camera who lives nearby could get a heads up on. Also, as next July approaches I will bump this thread with info and locations for the AANR dip. Most of the nude beach dips, in the US at any rate, are AANR related.

And so just because I was curious I googled Blacks Beach and Baker Beach in California to see if they hold any world record attempts. They don't. Why? I don't know, but neither of these beaches have a strong community feel to them which I think is necessary to hold a dip. Also, because they are on the west coast, they have to be in the water by noon for it to be official. Maybe no one is interested in getting up that early :) But in any case, no California beaches are on the 2010 AANR list. And Collins Beach in my neck of the woods isn't either. Hey - maybe I should organize one!

But I see any mass skinny dip as being a really fun thing to do. Think of it kind of like a Tunick shoot. I mean, lying around on the beach is OK, but here you get to rub shoulders with everyone and you get a great feel good vibe from sharing smiles with those cute babes as you work together to achieve this naked goal! So the more pics that make it to the net hopefully will spur more to join and take part, which will result in more pics, etc, etc until these all become major events. When I go to Wreck Beach, I always try to time my visit with the occurrence of some beach event like the bare buns run, Wreck beach day (Photos, sand castle competition, body painting), etc. Your experience is so much better when you have something to do, people to meet, moments to share.....and frequently these are the only days in which some cameras are allowed on the beach, heh, heh!!!

brrrrrrrrrrrr!!

here are the pics to prove it...(the last one is just a random pic that comes up when you search on "nogen-dukkert" which sounds like "skinny dip" in some scandinavian language....

thanks,
