Nude Family swim at Stoke Waterworld

I really don't understand parents who take thier DCS to these events, not only because of the risks but also because children cannot consent to seeing an unrelated adult's genitalia.

My husband was involved with the prosecution of a paedophile who was also involved with a naturists club.

I mean who'd have thought someone who gets off on seeing naked kids would go to a place where there are naked kids.

I don't particularly want to target you directly SterFran but there's something about the wide-eyed "Oh, but it's all good fun, like nature intended & I've never seen any trouble" that's really concerning to me.

Any place where children and women are naked will be targeted by men who find it sexually arousing. There are some places where we have to be more or less naked - in the bathroom, at the doctors etc. but a naked family swim event is not one of those. For whose benefit is this event? The kids? I doubt it. Adults who like taking their clothes off are prioritising their pleasure over the privacy and safety of children.

They are not full of paedophiles...

How do you know?

Waterworld does all kind of special sessions, they do women only sessions (that also get a lot of complains) and teens only sessions.

I haven't been for years, last time I went it was filthy and put me right off. It might have changed since then, its certainly noy cheap

Seems like an article designed to inflame... we are a naturist family and have been to loads of UK events and the swims. These events are run by the naturist organisation for the naturist community. They are not full of paedophiles...

Has he breached his conditions, then? It seems pretty likely unless it was an offence that didn't really apply to younger children.

I think the context of this is that there are actually lots of events nudists put on that include the whole family. There are plenty of nudist resorts for example, or nudist hiking trails that are used by whole families but also couples or single people. So why is this being protested specifically?

Apparently he is a registered paedophile and he has joined an event like that. Unless I'm mis-reading it.

I doubt a registered paedophile would even attempt to join something like that.

Did you read the third link in the OP?

We have restrictions on adult being permitted in playgrounds without a child - I should think that a place where children are playing naked should have the same restrictions!

I can't understand why the dubious joy of rubbing your bare bum around on water slides with other like minded people, could ever be enjoyable enough to outweigh the risk to the women and children participating.

If it's ONLY families - OK
If it's ANYONE - not ok

Yeah, cos family members never abuse children, right? And family members would never get off on a swimming pool full of naked kids, right?

I don't have a problem with a naturist swim per se but if you have tickets for single adult entry it should be adults only. If its for families then only families should be able to purchase tickets.

Exactly

If it's ONLY families - OK
If it's ANYONE - not ok

Apart from all of the obvious concerns- bare bums on the water slides? (not envy).

I don't have a problem with a naturist swim per se but if you have tickets for single adult entry it should be adults only. If its for families then only families should be able to purchase tickets.

A known one would likely have restrictions on being around kids at all.

There's an example in the OP of one who had restrictions but was allowed to attend anyway.

I don’t get nudism in general so wouldn’t understand why swimming naked is any better/more fun than swimming with a costume on.

I would think it a bit odd if a single adult bought a ticket to a nude family swim. Maybe they should have family sessions and adult only sessions or something.

Sorry it’s weird in this day and age. And yes, paedophiles gravitate towards nudist events.

I would be slightly more believing of the innocence of this, if it was only families swimming. As far as I can tell it is also open to men and women swimming without children which is disturbing. What non-dodgy reason could a man have to go to a naked family swim at a water park?
