Spring Break
Take a Swim on the Wild Side
Issue date: 10/22/09
Have you ever been to a nude indoor swim? Well here's your chance. MARNA (Maryland Area Naturist Association) is hosting one this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in Linthicum.
The location is undisclosed and is revealed to swimmers after they register. This is the third year MARNA has been hosting the event, which is supposedly family-oriented.
The event's details specify that no adult activities or beverages are allowed.
In addition, it is made very clear that glass containers of any sort are also not allowed. This must have something to do with the large amount of fragile nude bodies in the area.
Guests are expected to both bring and sit on their own towels.
No cameras are allowed, and anyone taking pictures will be asked to leave. However, art students are encouraged to attend and sketch nudes (assuming they receive permission from their subject).
If swimming's not your thing, there is supposedly an area where you can relax au naturel (watch movies, play board games or jam to music).
All of these activities have the potential to be greatly interesting without clothes. MARNA is no stranger to pulling off nude events.
In the summer they entered the Guinness Book of World Records for skinny dipping.
Details on which specific record it managed to set are still unclear.
The event was held at a private outdoor pool. MARNA welcomes regular attendees, couples, students, grads and young professionals and visitors from across the country to join its ranks.
"We welcome single adults and do our best to maintain a reasonable gender ratio. We're suitable for families too. Its a Cozy Clothing Optional INDOOR POOL PARTY at a location close to Baltimore."
Seems like a decent place for your average single, no? On MARNA's website, there is a video cataloging the responses of various skinny dipping individuals.
Both males and females seemed to enjoy the experience, and talked about how much of a great time they were having.
On the whole however, it seemed as if many of the women were there to try out the lifestyle while many of the men were seasoned nudists.
All in all, it's impossible to be able to predict what kind of crowd MARNA draws, so be sure to find out for yourself by checking it out this weekend. It's bound to make a splash in your life.

I'm sorry, I have to take exception to the tone of this article. The constant use of "supposedly" and a sarcastic reference to "fragile nude bodies" and other remarks that are frankly in the realms of a childish 'nudge nudge, wink wink' view of naturism that any adult should have left behind years ago.
