This Saturday - it’s the Great British Synchronised Skinny Dip!

The Great British Skinny Dip, British Naturism’s outreach project run in partnership with the British Heart Foundation,  is in full swing now, with well over 500 skinny dips listed. Our press release went down a storm with plenty of newspapers, radio stations, listings and news websites talking about it. On 16 May alone I did 13 local BBC radio interviews in one day with other members of the team taking on others and the attention lasted a period of days. Some of the media outlets decided to send a reporter to a dip. We also took the opportunity to broadcast an encouragement for readers/listeners to make suggestions for more venues in their area, and even to consider hosting one themselves. We will keep the profile high as the summer progresses and so look out for more! BN members can find links to stories and interviews on the members forum.

GBSD/NHW team leader Ron O’Hare came up with the fantastic idea for the ‘Great British Synchronised Skinny Dip’ (GBSSD) - a single day when a number of venues will host individual dips, with our being able to report a HUGE (we hope) aggregate number of costume-free swimmers. This year’s GBSSD takes place this Saturday, 1 June and here are the venues participating, with links to more information.
