Skinny Dipping

Tonight I had my first experience with skinny dipping in public with lots of other people.  It's officially the last night of our course...we have a couple of hours in the morning, and then most everybody is leaving.  So tonight we all had a big dinner out on the beach...About 40 of us sitting at one huge long table.  It was really cool!  Afterward, some of us starting talking about skinny dipping.  I'd never been, and neither had several other people.  We were definitely considering it, when suddenly one guy stripped off his clothes and jumped in the pool.  After a couple of minutes, the big bad lifeguard with his flashlight came and insisted that he put his trunks back on.

We were now convinced that skinny dipping wasn't the best idea.  Still, it was hot and humid outside, so we decided to just go swimming.  We all went to put on bathing suits, and re-convened at the pool.  Right before Donovan and I got in the pool, someone told us that we only had two minutes, and someone was going to come and kick us out.  We got in anyway.  :)  After a few minutes in the pool, I went over to one of my friends who had never been skinny dipping and who was freaked out about it.  Suddenly she decided she was ready to take her top off.  So we did!  Now we were half-naked in the pool.  A few minutes later, the bottoms came off, too!

So there we were, 22 people in the pool, all in various states of dress.  A couple of people came in with their clothes on, most of the women were at least topless, and many of us were totally naked.  It was such a trip!  Mind you, we've been in a course together for the last six days, and we've gotten very close, so it's not like I was skinny dipping with total strangers.

It was amazingly liberating!  Nothing dirty was going on, everyone was just having a lot of fun!  I kept saying, "I'm naked in a pool with a bunch of other people!"  Of course, we were all worried that the big bad lifeguard was going to come back with his flashlight and kick us out...which thankfully didn't happen!

It was a great first experience, and a great way to end our time with all these fabulous people.
