Naked Swimming
More opportunities to enjoy our popular Naked Swims this August.
- NEW Friday Night Naked Swims
- Fridays throughout the remaining weeks of August
- 7pm to 8pm
The very first Friday session on 14th August will be a ‘Women Only’ Naked Swim, following requests from regular swimmers. It’s designed to help women who may feel more comfortable in a female-only setting, especially if they’re thinking about trying swimming without a costume for the first time.
Naked Aquafit
There is also a Naked Aquafit session on Wednesday 19 August, from 7.15pm to 8.00pm. The instructor remains clothed, but participants can expect an enjoyable and energetic workout.
Anyone considering attending for the first time can be reassured that the Naked Swim community is known for being friendly, welcoming and supportive. Whether you’re a regular or simply curious to give it a try, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere in one of the country’s most characterful outdoor pools.
