skinny-dip

Swim without clothes

To skinny-dip is to swim naked.

The term evokes spontaneous, often nocturnal swims—jumping into a lake or pool without bothering with swimsuits: We skinny-dipped in the creek after midnight.

The noun skinny-dip refers to such a swim, and a skinny-dipper is one who does it.
