A nude world record was set yesterday when 400 people stripped off naked and went running into the sea.
People came to South Wales from all over the globe to take part in the world skinny-dipping record on Rhossili Beach, Gower.
Participants and organisers of the skinny dipping record believe they have broken the previous record of 250 skinny dippers
They tore off their clothes shortly before 8 am and bravely ran into the water shrieking and whooping with delight seemingly unperturbed by the wet and wind conditions.
But their cries of joy were replaced by ooohs and aaahs once their naked bodies entered into the icy sea temperature.
Skinnydipper Lizzy White, said, "I have flown in from Australia via Brazil to take part ufffd what was I thinking of? But it was great fun and very exhilarating to strip off and dive into the waves, even if they are a lot colder than what I'm used to."
Organisers of the eventu00a0 said their challenge had to be verified by Guinness but they believe they have smashed the previous record of 250 skinny-dippers.
