hundreds of swimmers plunged starkers into the water off Cobbler’s Beach for the Sydney Skinny in the city’s north on Sunday. The event fell short of breaking the record for the all-time largest skinny dipping event, set in 2018 when 2,505 naked women participated in the Irish Strip and Dip.

Organiser Tania Taylor said it was fantastic for the event to be back for the first time since 2019. Nude beachgoers at the Sydney Skinny could opt for either a 300-metre harbour swim or a 900-metre plunge.
