Skinny Dipping
For all those who enjoy a dip au naturel or wild swimming (in lakes, rivers etc)in the buff.
Wrist, Upper Arm or Ankle?
Return to DiscussionsMany of us remove our costume after entering the water and tie it to ourselves rather than chance not being able to find it later
The main options seem to be the ones in the heading.
I find that wrist or ankle tends to inhibit my swimming so I tie mine to my upper arm just above my elbow..
What are your preferences?
I've never lost my suit of my ankle, but do try to be vigilant in making sure I can 'feel' its presence. I hope I never get into q situation where it feels it's there even if it no longer is.
The other option is to pick a quiet moment when I can leave the door on the beach, perhaps behind a rock or a shrub, and stay in the water until there's another quiet moment for me to exit. Funny how often my section of the beach becomes busy with walkers just as I feel it's time to come out again!
Did lose my swimsuit once while swimming in Long Island Sound . Was staying with my parents. Had dropped it down to my lower legs . Didn't realize it slipped off me until it was gone . I was swimming after dark . Found it on the shoreline the next day . Did have a beach towel so could cover up getting back home . Now I will always have it wrapped up around my upper arm , where it can never be lost .
When I was in my early 20s, I would skinny dip at a crowded city beach. I would wade out until the water was up to my neck and then I would slip my swimsuit off. I never tied it to my body. I just held it in my hand. The downside was that made it difficult for me to swim. Also, I needed to be careful that I didn't lose grip of my suit. I did have regular shorts by my towel that I kept near the shore so, worst case scenario, I had something to put on.
