Canadian nudists were part of an attempt to set the record for the world's largest skinny-dip on Saturday.

Members of four naturist clubs, in B.C., Sask. and Ont., participated in the North American "Wearing zip, let's skinny-dip" event organized by the American Association for Nude Recreation and the Naturist Society.

Participants were to bare all at clubs, beaches, rivers, lakes, pools and backyards at 1:00 "Local Nudist Time." To be counted, all participants had to be completely nude during the swim - and prove it with a photo, so judges could verify the record.

The Canadian groups were four of nearly 100 clubs in North America that signed up to take part, according to the official list on the AANR website.

The current Guinness World Record for the "largest number of people simultaneously in the water without swimsuits" is said to be 14,288, set in 2010.
