As mentioned above, Skinny Dipping is Truth in Television. It was a common practice back before the 1950's or so, when swimsuits were impractical. It is still done today, though. As a matter of fact, some [[UsefulNotes/{{Nudism}} nudist camps]] which are otherwise clothing-optional make their pools no-clothing. (It's a little known fact that suit fibers just mean something extra to clean out of the filter system.) However, skinny dipping in public places other than nudist areas can be illegal and bring charges of public indecency or even second degree sexual assault.

* In Brazilian comic ''[[ComicBook/MonicasGang Chuck Billy,]]'' and his hillbilly friends have a habit of going for swims in the river, and they never bother with swimwear.

* ''Film/NineteenFortyOne1979'': A woman (unnamed but credited as the Polar Bear Club Girl because "Polar Bear Club" was written on her robe) goes swimming naked off the California coast during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and winds up in a close encounter with a Japanese submarine. She's played by Susan Backlinie, the same actress who was eaten while Skinny Dipping in ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', and the scene was deliberately filmed as a parody of the one from ''Jaws'' (but she lives in ''1941'', happily if [[NakedFreakOut embarrassed]]).
