The positive effects for mental health as well as physical health provided by our swim have not been lost on many men who have attended our swim over the years. For some, it has changed their lives for the better.
As organisers, we find it rewarding that so many men have enjoyed our swim over the years. But don’t take our word for it – here are some testimonials from attendees who’ve been in contact with us afterwards to thank us.
“Just to say that two weeks ago I found the Manchester swim and went along, it was so good to be able to swim without the hindrance of swimming trunks. Really enjoyed it, went back yesterday. It feels so good to swim au naturel, I came away with my head in a much better place. I think you now have a regular”

“Hey guys. Just wanted to say a massive thanks for making my visit so welcoming. I really enjoyed that tonight”

“I visited last Thursday, and you (and a couple of others) spoke to me and were welcoming. I appreciate you checking in on me too. I have enjoyed the unique experience very much. It is a real pity that it is nowhere close to where I am. Otherwise I would come more often / regularly. I hope to have another opportunity to visit in the future. Thank you for the website information which is very detailed too. Keep up the good work. This is after all the only men-only nudist swim group in the UK now.”

“Many thanks! I was at the swim last Thursday; my wife and child were otherwise engaged. I received a friendly greeting on arrival with clear directions of where to go. Some 24 swimmers were all well behaved and nobody bothered me. A great hour and a half of nude swimming. Good wishes”

“Visiting last night confirmed to me how comfortable and natural [naturism] feels and how much I’d love to do more when I can. Honestly, thank you again for helping me, I really appreciate it”

“Just wanted to say thank you for having me this evening. Wonderful event and relaxing environment. As a first time attendee; I was very nervous. But the nerves soon went and I was very relaxed. I look forward to more events in the future.”

“Just a quick message to thank you and the other attendees for making me feel so welcome in this evenings swim. Sorry I didn’t get the opportunity to come to the pub – maybe next time!”
