I do enjoy your posts here, Osreb, especially the underwater pics. But maybe there could be a separate thread for them. And for the others - rule out the above first.

Klondike: I must respectfully and regretfully disagree. While zeban's original parameters for this thread ("Only water, girls, and NO clothes...") are certainly loose, the only one of your categorical exclusions I'd accept would be hot tubs. If skinnydipping is swimming/wading naked, and that's my definition, some pictures in all the other types you mention would fit.
When at summer camp, on an "overnight hike" barely a mile from our cabins, a half dozen of us swam without swimsuits in the creek;
When my uncle took me to the Y to play handball, and afterward we swam in the pool between taking some steam and getting dressed;
When I returned from first term at college to find my parents had moved to suburbia, and the divorcee next door took me, her high-school daughter and a friend across "town" to a house she knew that had a pool, and we swam and paddled about naked;
When I go to Wreck Beach, necessarily on vacation because I don't live in Vancouver, and wade out a hundred yards at low tide before it's deep enough to swim (both in the old days, when it was pretty much everybody naked, and now that it's only some of the crowd);
When I swam naked at Le Layet in France, where it was de facto naturist, or if I had gone out to Ile du Levant, where it's more rigidly so;
all of those were skinnydipping as far as I'm concerned. To take posts here as an example, using my own to not step on anybody else's toes, the first item in #477 was in reply to a request (though it wasn't the sequence he was thinking of!), and, as the rest of the linked series seems to show, the people in the boat were apparently going to or coming from skinnydipping. The underwater picture shows what I'd allow as a slight exception to the nakedness criterion: being bottomless. The third one shows a skinnydip about to take place, the fifth and sixth show the woman who was skinnydipping in the fourth, floating naked on a raft. The seventh is of two women whom I interpreted, rightly or wrongly, to be drying off and warming up after a skinnydip, and the last a woman starting hers. Since what you'd see while someone is actually swimming (especially if underwater pictures are excluded) is pretty limited, I'd also include the time just before and after, going to and from the water. If that seems unreasonable to more people than yourself, I'd be happy to use Nude Vacation Pics or Life's a Beach for that sort of posting. Anybody else out there care to weigh in?
