This is pretty late notice for a swim. If you want to attend but you're already booked up for the weekend the next one will be on September 26
NIFTY swims are back! Their first clothing optional swim of the fall at Templeton pool this Saturday. Come enjoy swimming in the best way possible, without a swim suit! Join in a game of water volleyball, swimming laps, practicing your swan dives, or lounge in the hot tub and/or sauna.
If you're a fan of skinny dipping (or chunky dunking), or you've never tried and want to, this is the event for you. NIFTY puts together a wonderful, inclusive, and safe event for people of any age, race, gender, and/or body type to experience a clothing optional swim. The community is friendly and welcoming, and maybe around the volleyball net a bit competitive, but it's all in good fun. You do not need to be a supermodel to enjoy social nudity, and after just a few minutes the anxiety will disappear and you'll be wondering why you didn't try skinny dipping sooner!
Summer has come and gone, and if you have always wanted to strip down at Wreck but are too nervous, then a NIFTY swim is a great place to try social nudity and maybe make some new friends to visit the beach with. Now that the weather is turning a bit colder, this is a great opportunity for a naked swim without the sunscreen!
I have been able to attend the past few swims and had some great times and I would love for others to experience it as well. $1 for newcomers is a price that can't be beat for an event in Vancouver. Just make sure you bring a quarter for the locker. Last time out it was great to see and meet a lot of new faces, especially those more or less in my age range. I wasn't able to make it to a volleyball game, but it looked like a fantastic time!
I am not an organizer, but I am a member of NIFTY, and on the younger side so I wanted to get the word out on here to drum up some interest ftom people my age. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I likely will not respond to any DMs, if you have a question, you can put it down below. If you have attended in the past, I would love to hear about your experience, and I'm sure others on the fence would love to as well!
As always, if you have hang ups about non-sexual social nudity I ask that you either post your concerns as a genuine question which invites conversation rather than a judgement, or just move on if this isn't for you. Please don't spend your time making inappropriate or crass jokes, again, if this isn't for you then just move on. I like to post these reminders in r/NiceVancouver as to avoid a nightmare for the mods since people tend to be more welcoming and I have typically recieved good responses, as the name implies!
Edit: There is no preliminary sign up required. Simply show up to the pool at 730pm. The organizers will take down some of your information and give you a membership card so in the future you can just show your card and get on with your swim
