skinny dip

Swim au naturel

To skinny dip is to swim naked, usually in a spontaneous or recreational context rather than at a designated nude beach.

The term evokes carefree summer nights, secluded lakes, and youthful adventure: We skinny dipped in the pond after everyone else went to bed.

As a noun, a skinny dip is an instance of such swimming.
