Over 700 people participated in the second annual Sydney Skinny to protest against body image conformity and also to enjoy a good swim in the scorching heat in Sydney, Australia.





750 people attended last year's Sydney Skinny which not only promotes a positive body image but also raises money for Australia's National Parks.

This is what some of the skinny dippers had to say:
"We are born naked. who cares who sees your body be naked with nature for a great cause. The more the merrier..."
Another wrote on the online event page: 'I'm quite shy and I have never swam naked before. But there is no embarrassment - it will be great fun."



After the event, the bathers donned their clothes and headed to a festival arena, where there was live music to celebrate their feat.
