Is it dangerous to swim in the nude?

Question

Is it dangerous to swim in the nude?

Answer 1

Not if the water is clean and has no harmful bacteria, etc. If it was dangerous all the nude beaches in the world should be shut.

Answer 2

In the amazon river the is a fish that creeps up your urinary tract.

In Africa there is a bug the works it way into your eye and another that works its way into you a**s in the Niger river.

I would say if you intend to swim nude in the USA you are safe.

Answer 3

Yeah if there are fishes around or you are in a swamp! ;)

Answer 4

Only for men who don't have a tool shed!

Answer 5

I swim nude in a lake 2-3 times a day for about 20 minutes at a time. The worst thing I've had to deal with is a little sunburn from sitting naked on the floating dock.  

Answer 6

no why would it be

Answer 7

No not unless you are swimming in a lake or river.  If you swim nude in a pool its fine because the water is pure.  But in a natural body of water there is dirt, bugs, moss and other harmful things that you don't want to get in an exposed opening of the body.

Answer 8

I guess it would depend on where you're swimming, pool would be safe, but lakes, oceans, ponds..anything that has very small fish or tadpoles..well you wouldn't want them going into places there not suppose to be, not to mention the sand that will get into 'those' places as well!!!

Answer 9

is there a naked guy swimming near you...that...could be dangerous

Answer 10

It wouldn't really be any more dangerous than swimming in a swim suit. I'd suggest using sun block on the sensitive areas however.

Oh, there might be a danger in getting arrested if local laws do not allow this activity.

Answer 11

I probably wouldn't do it in the ocean.."shark bait".  But other than that not only is it not dangerous, but it's completely natural and totally liberating!!  God only invented one suit and it's called your birthday suit wear it with pride!

Answer 12

depends where you are really, In Australia a lot of people swim nude (doesn't look very nice for some) but a lot of people don't really care

Answer 13

I don't see much danger if you are at a pool, but if you are in a river, ocean, swamp, lake, it could be but I still like to swim nude when i can.
