Participation in naturism is on the rise with British Naturism reporting a five per cent increase in membership and a 10 per cent increase in new members. Swimming pools all around the country are hired for nude swimming sessions every week and they are hugely popular.

Spokesman Andrew Welch said: “People who regularly shed their clothes know that the benefits include improved well-being, reduced stress and an increase in body confidence.

“It’s also liberating and a lot of fun! Millions of people worldwide have discovered this simple antidote to the stresses of modern life and we want to encourage more people to experience it.”
