SKINNY-DIPPING
SWIMMING HOLES - THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH
YOUR CLOTHES ON.....OR NOT!
To
easily find
skinny-dipping swimming holes in SWIMMINGHOLES.INFO, go to the HOME page, click on the State
you are interested in and then use the
"EDIT -->FIND" function of your browser to
find the word "optional". These will be
swimming holes which we know to be "clothing optional". There are
others that say "unknown",
these we just do not have that information yet. There are also many
that you may feel
comfortable going nude in, depending on how isolated they are and/or
the attire of the crowd
when you get there.
