Night Pool Hopping Photos — General Discussion on True Nudists

The article is about ten months old, but it's new to me. There's a photographer in Toronto who's been documenting the "Night Pool Hopping" scene. Not strictly nudism, but nudism adjacent: [quote]His latest series Pool Hoppers follows a subculture which sees its members breaking into the cities outdoor pools to escape the heat of the summers nights. Morris embeds himself within the community, actively participating in the revelries. He jumps the fences, he sheds his clothes, he swims as part of the group, and when the police turn up he is one of many who frantically gather their belongings and escape to continue their night in the city, barely dressed but rejuvenated. For Morris, being a photographer is not a case of separating himself from his subjects, but instead establishing a connection with them, utilising cameras with ground glass viewfinders that do not block his face from them. He even extends this personal involvement when he displays his work: his development process requires commitment, printing his photographs onto large sheets of costly archival paper which require delicate handling. A deeply intimate method, Morris believes it has allowed him to capture a joyous instance beautiful people running around doing whatever they want.[/quote] The full article includes Morris's photos: [url][link]/link/e869c35ccafc9dea/aHR0cHM6Ly9mYXJvdXRtYWdhemluZS5jby51ay9pbi1mb2N1cy1sYXRlLW5pZ2h0LXBvb2wtaG9wcGluZy1pbi1jYW5hZGEtd2l0aC1waG90b2dyYXBoZXItbWlrZS1tb3JyaXMv[/link]In Focus: Late night pool hopping in Canada with photographer Mike Morris[/url]

Some great shots there. Takes me back to my younger days, when we used to go into the local pool at midnight. I had a set of keys to get in, but should not be there, so had to leave the lights swithed off. There was just enough light from the street lighting to see at on end of the pool.

It turned out that she and a little group of local punk rockers had been "pool hopping" at local hotels for years. It seemed the group always got caught, but security would usually just tell them to be quieter.

Back in high school there was a bible camp at the edge of town and a few friends would sneak up there and go for a dip when it was real hot. Since the cabins were only used during the summer months we weren't to nervous about getting caught, The problem with public pools these days is they all have motion lights and cameras. Be sure to throw a towel over the cameras.
We have a golf course next to a bike trail and on hot evenings we would run through the water naked to cool off after riding down to the bar in a small town about 6 miles away.
