[44] YMCAs everywhere had nude swimming beginning in the 1890s until they became coed in the 1960s. [45] Given the limits of chlorination at that time, behavioral measures were used to maintain water quality. In 1933, in addition to recommending nudity, all bathers were required to empty their bladder and shower before entering the pool. Those suffering from skin or repiratory disease were prohibited from using the pool. [46] In 1940 health experts continued to favor boys wearing bathing suits only in pools visible to both sexes. Girls were issued cotton suits that could be boiled to disinfect them between uses; the wool suits used by boys could not because they would shrink. It was also noted that wool suits that had previously been used in salt water could not be washed effectively because salt prevents soap from lathering. [47] In 1926, the American Public Health Association (APHA) standards handbook recommended that indoor swimming pools used by men adopt nude bathing policies and that indoor swimming pools used by women require swimsuits "of the simplest type". [48] Students bringing their own suits was discouraged, the institutions not having control of decontamination. [49] So no, you do not want to go for a long scuba dive naked in cold water! Best Places to Go Scuba Diving NakedThese motivations aren’t novel, or unexpected. We swim naked because it connects us more intensely to things: the water, the natural world, our bodies. But the simplicity of the motives doesn’t make the practice any less powerful. And as Rhia, 36, a holistic therapist in Norfolk who started naked swimming a couple of years ago says, there’s also an ecological factor too. It is “a way to reconnect to the earth”; after all, “we are water”. For her, in the context of a summer of sewage being emptied into our waters, there’s something vital about the physical act of putting one’s naked body into the sea, and, in doing so, demanding others be conscious of what they are dumping there. “We are part of a movement,” she says. “The stuff that they put into our waters is actually quite scary. It’s almost like we are calling people to be more mindful.” Corbin, Alain (1994-01-01). The Lure of the Sea: The Discovery of the Seaside in the Western World, 1750-1840.

Yentl, a 1983 American film directed, co-written, co-produced by, and starring Barbra Streisand is based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's story "Yentl: The Yeshiva Boy".

Naturism is still really popular in Greece and most of Europe, so beaches like this are common. Only a few beaches are designated "nude" beaches, but topless is legal everywhere. That's why there were a few topless women on the neighboring Big Banana Beach, and the nearby Koukounaries Beach. In ancient Rome, clothing also represented social status, but public bathhouses were an exception. Bathhouses might include swimming pools that were located in open courtyards.
