Down in Mazatlan(Mexico), there's a hotel that allows nude swimming in their pool after 10pm. Hotel Belmar. This is not publicized, just word-of-mouth. It's about half gay men, but straight singles & couples go there too. It's swimming & wading, not really the right time of day for loud volleyball/water polo games. The hotel is about $22-30 a room. It's in the old part of town. That area is in regentrification now so I don't know if the nude pool will last much longer.
I can appreciate the clothing-optional theme,and skinny dipping is always best, but as far a a video, this is very bland, and shot from too far away. Be naked, be clothes, but just put some artistic consideration into how you show your group to the world.
Thanks for the encouragement. If you had read the original posts, I readily admit, being the first attempt, that the pictures turned out to be too far away and I was using a wide angle common 2.0 Sony Cyber Shot camera. I did not know how it would look, but it was good enough to post. I have not had another opportunity to repeat the shot since that time.
No, we are all straight. There is even a gal there if you listen closely. Regards, Dave PS. We don't ask and don't discriminate, but generally, most guys are straight.
For water volleyball, it does not happen. For water polo we may touch arms, but if women are playing, I will suggest to the guys to keep an arms length away. If the women are games, then arm contact may happen but I've had no complaints because they love to play. Thanks for asking, Dave
I understand how this works better. We would need 2000 views per day, not total views, to get on the Sports page. We are only getting about 500 views a day so we will never get on the Sports page.
Absolutely, never get tired of putting on the swims. This is our 8th year. We are a non-landed naturist club specializing is swim nights that feature water recreation since we are using old Toronto pools which don't have jacuzzis and saunas and slides. I think we have more fun though! (g)
Uploaded video to Yahoo Video. Do a search for 'water volleyball' on Yahoo's main page and click on Video tab. The quality there is equal to the original video, fuzzy but much better. Dave
This our first effort to video using a picture camera. YouTube makes the video more fuzzy than it was. Also the volleyball clips were too short. We will try again and replace this video sometime in the future with one that is a little closer and longer volleyball section.
Google Video allow for much crisper video. Also in general you always have to be closer to your subjects. Adn if you can find out the exact maximum resolution that YouTube and Google each allow, you can try to convert it to that res at home before uploading.
That's YouTube's nasty compression. They should try DiVX. It compresses well without losing so much detail. Also, Google Video, while not as popular as YouTube (yet) can handle higher video quality. I would post a link here buy YT disallows it.
Yahooo Video has the original resolution. It's posted there too but not to Google yet. Thanks for the idea. I may wait to see if we get a swim off on May 26th and if a vid is done, I will post it. Dave
Been to many many swims. Never encountered any hairs at all. Guess you don't know what you are talking about. (g) Dave

Caps not required at the city pools. But they do clog up the filters. Have you ever removed hair from filters? Not a pretty sight. (g)

where I'm from they make you ware swim caps saying that it's to prevent hair from clogging the water pumps

whats the problem with nudity anyways?
Davrehck 3 years ago 7
No problem, but that depends on the Manager of the pool it seams. Some were too scared to talk to me and others don't like us.

Many Canadians do go south for part of the winter, but it's summer now. Often get temps at 28 or more.

Also, YT seems to want videos at a resolution of 425x350. I'm going to try that today myself.
