Tallahassee Naturally is one of more than 100 locations trying to set a new record.
The Guinness Book of World Records established a category of the most people skinny-dipping at one time. The record will be set at 3 pm Saturday, July 11th, all across the country.
"It's fun, it's wholesome. For a lot of people it's almost a spiritual experience, being a natural part of nature," said Paul LeValley, the treasurer for Tallahassee Naturally.
Organizers say they're hosting an open house Saturday *AND* Sunday. Saturday's dress code is clothing from 10am-11am, clothing optional from 11am to 1pm, then nude until 4pm. Sunday's schedule is similar, but without the clothed hour.
There will be sunbathing, swimming, volleyball, and many other activities. Tallahassee Naturally has been around for 23 years.
To get there, go to the intersection of I-10 and US-19 (Exit 225 South of Monticello) and follow the temporary signs.

I read somewhere there’s a tradition of skinny dipping in the US; YMCA pools were nude only up until the early 70s and boy’s schools had nude only swimming lessons (defies belief tbh)up until the same time.
True. I learned to swim at the Y (1961),and we were all stark, staring naked including the adult instructor. Nobody thought much about it. Parents (strong Catholics) didn't care either. Heven't swam nude since. Or swam much period.
Interesting how times have changed; if the male fashion pages are anything to go by, Speedo type trunks are something to ridicule/freak out about.
