Nude swimming (colloquially called skinny dipping , also known as skin diving ) is a term used to describe swimming naked, i.e. without any swimsuit.

Etymology

The term skinny dip , first recorded in English in the 1950s, includes the somewhat archaic word skinny , known since 1573, meaning "having to do with skin", as it exposed the naked hide; in World War II skinny was also used for the "naked" truth.

Definitions

The term is commonly used with a neutral tone to describe swimming in unheated water, but is also used when referring to going naked in hot tubs and hot springs.

It has a more mischievous connotation when describing swimming excursions (often under cover of darkness) in swimming pools or at beaches where one would be expected to wear swimsuits. In this sense, skinny dipping in mixed company (i.e. both males and females) has an element of sexual rebelliousness to it, though sexual activity does not necessarily take place.

In the UK skinny-dipping is often known as "wild swimming" though this can also refer to simply swimming in nature.

History

Prior to the mid-19th century, swimming nude was unexceptional. Kilvert, a skinny-dipper, (1873) describes men's bathing suits then coming into use as "a pair of very short red and white stripped drawers". Period illustrations of women's suits show they were far more cumbersome.

Benjamin Franklin, an avid swimmer, possessed a copy of the Art of Swimming by Melchisédech Thévenot, which featured illustrations of nude swimmers. Among other notable Americans, Presidents John Quincy Adams and Theodore Roosevelt are perhaps the best-known skinny-dippers. Roosevelt describes nude swims in the Potomac with his "tennis cabinet" in his "Autobiography": "If we swam the Potomac, we usually took off our clothes." Quotations from the diary of Rev. Robert Francis Kilvert, an English nude swimmer, in Cec Cinder's The Nudist Idea , show the transition in the England of the 1870s from an acceptance of nude bathing to the mandatory use of bathing suits. Kilvert describes "a delicious feeling of freedom in stripping in the open air and running down naked to the sea".

Nude swimming was once very common in the U.S., especially for young boys and girls swimming in a secluded pond, swimming hole, or section of a river. Swimsuits were originally uncommon in these settings, as they were made out of materials such as wool that required extra care to deal with and were of limited practical benefit.

Although modern swimwear is more practical, nude swimming remains a fairly common activity in rural areas, where an unwanted audience of outsiders is rather unlikely; yet it may be forbidden even there by law. Today, many swimmers in the U.S. limit nude swimming to private locations due to concerns about public nudity.

Ernest Thompson Seton describes skinny dipping as one of the first activities of his Woodcraft Indians, a forerunner of the Scout movement, in 1902.

Before the YMCA began to admit females in the early 1960s, swimming trunks were not even allowed in the pools, and high school swimming classes for boys sometimes had similar policies, citing the impracticality of providing and maintaining sanitary swimming gear and clogging swimming pools' filtration systems with lint fibers from the swimsuits. These practices were common because of the perception that there was nothing wrong or sexual about seeing members of the same gender in the nude, especially in these indoor contexts among equals in 'birthday suit uniform'.

In some English schools, Manchester Grammar School for example, nude swimming was compulsory until the 1970s. This was also the case for some U.S. junior high schools. A 2006 Roper poll showed that 25% of all American adults had been skinny dipping at least once, and that 74% believed nude swimming should be tolerated at accepted locations.

In the United States, various counties and municipalities may enact their own dress codes, and many have. There is no federal law against nudity. Nude beaches, such as Baker Beach in San Francisco, operate within federal park lands in California. However, under a provision called concurrent jurisdiction , federal park rangers may enforce state and local laws, or invite local authorities to do so.

While exceptional in the U.S., some nude or more accurately clothing-optional beach areas have been designated or marked by signs by government entities. Among the most widely used are Gunnison Beach in New Jersey (National Park Service) and Haulover Beach in Florida (Miami-Dade County).

In popular culture

Verbal media

As literature is not a visual medium, forms of nudity are easily accepted here.

  • In classical Dutch language works of the Flemish authors Felix Timmermans and Ernest Claes, both also made into motion pictures which include the explicit scenes, title characters practice it in different ways: the adult Pallieter, who has recovered from a potentially lethal sickness, takes a nude dive in the river is symbolical for shedding his old stuffy city life in favor of hedonistic life in the country; the mischievous schoolboy nicknamed De Witte van Sichem, a farmhand's son, is caught by his mother nude diving with classmates - at the adult's approach Witte hides himself, not because of his nudity, but because he was supposed to be at work; she recognizes and takes away his clothes, forcing him to return home covered only by leaves.
  • The Great Brain series of books by J. D. Fitzgerald, set in the 1800s, frequently includes chapters set at the old swimming hole.
  • In the Soup children's series books by Robert Newton Peck, boys Soup and Rob sometimes go swimming in the nude. A chapter from the second book, Soup And Me where their clothes are stolen by bully Janice Ryker, leaving the boys stranded and forced to "borrow" dresses from a church rummage sale, was adapted into an episode of the ABC Weekend Special starring Shane Sinutko and Christian Berrigan.
  • The Plague by Albert Camus features two of the lead characters, Rieux and Tarrou, swimming naked into the mediterranean from Oran beach.
  • Skinny-Dipping at Monster Lake (Aladdin Fiction) is a children's book by Bill Wallace that tells the story of a group of boys trying to learn the secret behind the mystery of the glowing eyes they see in the lake.
  • In Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom, Huck and Joe swim naked on their desert island hideaway.
  • The R.E.M. song Nightswimming refers to skinny dipping (specifically at night).
  • Alternative rock band 311 took its name from the "indecent exposure" code for the State of Nebraska, after former guitarist Jim Watson and bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills were caught swimming in the nude.
  • The book The Fountainhead begins with the main character, Howard Roark standing naked at the edge of a cliff after swimming in a lake.

Arts

Nude swimming was a common subject of Old Masters and Romantic oil paintings , usually bucolic or in a mythological or historical setting. In later days it became rarer, but more likely to depict straight-forward contemporary scenes.

  • The English painter Henry Scott Tuke (1858–1929) is mainly known for various depictions of boys and young men who swim, dive and lounge, usually naked, on a boat or on the beach, sometimes in a traditional 'alibi' context, but after 1890 often just naturalistic, sexually innocent scenes with local youths in the Cornish fishing port of Falmouth where he settled in 1885.
  • Norman Rockwell's painting No Swimming that adorned the cover of the June 4, 1921 edition of the Saturday Evening Post with boys in various states of undress escaping from the local authorities.

Films

There are numerous mainstream films which contain scenes with people swimming or diving (jumping into water) in the nude, though at earlier times they were closely scrutinised by film censors. Nude swimming is considered more innocent than nudity in an explicitly sexual context.

  • Ecstasy (1933) The film was highly controversial in its time largely because of Hedy Lamarr's nude swimming scene.
  • Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
  • Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) has a brief scene in which the native girls wearing loincloths come out after swimming; their bare backs-but not fronts-are seen as they wrap themselves in shawls.
  • The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938) Even though there was a swimming hole scene shot from a distance, promotional stills were taken of Tommy Kelly in the nude.
  • Child Bride (1938) gained notoriety for a lengthy scene involving a 12-year-old girl swimming naked while a leering older man looks on.
  • Kings Row (1942) At the start of the film, children Parris Mitchell (Scott Beckett, age 13) and Cassandra Tower (Mary Thomas) go swimming nude together. At the end, an embarrassed adult Parris (Robert Cummings) tells new love Elise Sandor (Kaaren Verne) about his childhood pursuit
