A group of nudists in Northampton, UK, has been banned from swimming naked at a public pool. The Northampton Sun Group, which has been holding monthly naturist swims at Mounts Baths for over 40 years, was told by the new general manager that they could no longer use the facility due to a breach of the swimwear policy.

Background

The group, which has over 190 members, had been using the pool for their monthly swims without any issues. However, after a new leisure operator, Everyone Active, took over the pool, the group was informed that their bookings were canceled.

David Farnsworth, the club’s treasurer, expressed disappointment and frustration with the decision, stating that it was discriminatory and that the group had always followed the necessary safety protocols. He also mentioned that the group would love to take legal action but lacks the funds to do so.

Response from Everyone Active

Everyone Active stated that they were unable to offer naturist swimming sessions at Mounts Baths due to their inability to secure the necessary staffing agreements. They also mentioned that they understand the disappointment this may cause and will review the position if circumstances change in the future.
