Thousands of naked women descended on an Irish beach to break the worlds record for the biggest group skinny dip.
The Strip and Dip event took place at the Maghermore Beach in Wicklow on Friday. Women from across Ireland and beyond gathered in an attempt to create biggest ever mass naked swim. Photographs show a sea of naked bodies running into the water, leaving piles of clothes on the beach behind them.
The previous world record was set in March 2015, when 786 people had a communal skinny dip in Perth, Australia. Finland has also claimed to have had the largest dip, with 789 stripping off at a music festival in 2017.
These women easily smashed that record, with 2,505 people stripping off and running into the sea.
The event was arranged as a charity swim to raise money for a childrens cancer charity. Many of the women taking part have battled cancer, and they proudly posed with their scars.
Its basically giving a big feck you to cancer. organizer Dee Featherstone said. For those who have cancer, theyre taking ownership of their bodies again,
I can see that it's nice & sunny, but that water would have been freezing...
If only cancer didn't have such a finality to its coming, I'd laugh along with the girls message on their back.
Good to be young !
