skinny dipping
Swimming au naturel
Skinny dipping is swimming naked, typically in a natural body of water like a lake, river, or ocean.
The activity suggests spontaneity, freedom, and mild transgression—often done at night or in secluded spots to avoid detection: We went skinny dipping after the bonfire.
The adjective skinny here means bare, as in skinny as the day you were born.
