Australians ditch their bathing suits for nude ocean swim A thousand Australians participated in the world's first nude ocean swim, the Sydney Skinny, a 900 meter race in the waters of Sydney Harbour. The concept was created as a way to encourage people to throw aside concerns of body image, to connect with nature and celebrate as a community. The swim hopes to raise as much as $15,000 for the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. Images and soundbites.+ CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE VIDEO CONTAINS NUDITY +
