The Credible Voice of Reason for Nude Recreation
Since 1931, the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) has been a trusted source for nudist information on such topics as what to expect at a nudist club, a nudist resort, or even from a skinny dipping experience. Nude recreation is growing in popularity; over 18% of all Americans would find a visit to a nudist club or other clothes-free experience a highly desirable vacation choice, according to survey results in USA Today. If you and your family have considered giving skinny dipping a try, see yourself as a longtime nudist, or would like to join or visit a nudist club or resort, you're not alone. AANR is the right place to learn more from the credible voice of reason for nude recreation-The American Association for Nude Recreation.
The American Association for Nude Recreation has posted the Nudists Bill of Rights as a petition that supporters can sign.
As law-abiding citizens who are friends of nudism, including many members of the American Association for Nude Recreation, we proudly affirm that we have and are entitled to exercise the following rights. These are self-evident and based on the Constitutions of the United States and Canada, the laws of those countries, and their court rulings.
Advance registration is now open for volunteers to help at the AANR’S Assateague State Park Beach cleanup on Saturday, September 18th on the Maryland National Shore Side and show how much we nudists care about this wonderful beach area. This is a CLOTHING REQUIRED event. American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) members will meet In the First National Shore Parking lot at 8 a.m. which is located across the bridge onto the Island. Take first right and continue to the parking lot on the left just beyond the toll booth of the National Shore Park area.

“Staycations are so 2009. It’s nakations in 2010.” So starts off an article in USA Today’s travel section about nude travel. The American Association for Nude Recreation, who coined the term “nakation,” is way ahead of the trend.
According to a recent TripAdvisor survey, more people are choosing clothing optional vacations. The online travel community surveyed 22,091 U.S. travelers, asking if they would bare all at the beach and 48% said yes, up from last year’s 31%.

The 79th Annual AANR Convention is underway for what promises to be the most entertainment-packed, seminar-filled AANR convention ever. Officials at Sun Meadow Resort, the Worley, Idaho, club that will host the event from August 9-15, have put together a schedule of events and activities that encourages visitors to arrive early and stay late.
AANR and TNS are equally committed to preserving and promoting increased opportunities for nude recreation on public lands. In some instances, the two organizations have worked together on projects; in other cases, each guided by the strategists and attorneys for their organization, have pursued different routes to a common goal.
The preliminary count is in for the AANR World Record Skinny-Dip held July 10, a Guinness World Records event. As of this writing the count is 12,194 with 27 locations not yet reporting. The numbers show that we are on track to beat last year’s final count of 13,648.
We’re seeing big numbers from a variety of locations: Wreck Beach in British Columbia, 389; Turtle Lake Resort in Michigan, 425; Lake Como in Florida, 452; Laguna del Sol in California, 528; and Cypress Cove in Florida, 556.
In order to swim one takes off all one's clothes-in order to aspire to the truth one must undress in a far more inward sense, divest oneself of all one's inward clothes, of thoughts, conceptions, selfishness etc. before one is sufficiently naked.
