skinnydipper

Unclothed midnight bather

A skinnydipper is someone who swims naked, typically in a natural body of water like a lake, river, or ocean.

The term combines "skinny" (bare skin) with "dipper" (one who dips into water), and carries connotations of spontaneity, freedom, and mild transgression.

Skinnydipping often happens at night or in secluded spots to avoid detection.
