Skinny-dippers in SF Bay area hope to set record

[July 12, 2010]  LOS GATOS, Calif. (AP) -- More than 100 people with nothing on but sunscreen and smiles crowded into a San Francisco Bay area swimming pool over the weekend in an attempt to set a skinny dipping record.

The 111 naked people in the pool at a Los Gatos nudist resort took part in a series of efforts on Saturday to establish a record tracked by a group calling itself the American Association For Nude Recreation.

Organizers say besides the event in Los Gatos, there were about 100 other record-breaking attempts across the country.

In order to be counted in the competition, all the participants had to be at the same location at exactly noon.

A picture taken of the gathering in Los Gatos will be submitted to determine which group broke the skinny dipping record.
