A couple claim daily winter dips in the sea naked have boosted their body confidence - helping them feel 'liberated' and banish any worries they may have. Daryl Ashley and Susan Roux met while walking along Prussia Cove, Cornwall, in September 2017 and after striking up a conversation decided to take a swim in the sea right away.
The couple soon began a relationship and found that daily swims along the coast boosted their body confidence and helped ease any troubles they had. Hedger Daryl and photographer Susan started off taking a dip in their swimwear, but as time went on they shed their clothes, and inhibitions, and started skinny dipping.
The 48-year-old said he and 51-year-old Susan's first naked swim together was 'liberating' and that while always sensitive to other beach-goers, many 'don't give a monkeys' and barely bat an eyelid. And Daryl said the hardy duo aren't just fairweather skinny dippers, but brave the chill of the ocean even in the depths of winter.
