Nudists Stripped of Ability to Swim Naked at Public Pool
Everyone Active said it could not secure staffing agreements for the 2.5-hour sessions, leaving nearly 200 club members barred from nude swimming.
- Leisure operator Everyone Active canceled the Northampton Sun Club's monthly nude swim sessions at Mounts Baths last month, citing a breach of the venue's swimwear policy.
- After taking over operations from Trilogy Active in April, Everyone Active notified club members via email just two days before their scheduled monthly meeting that all future bookings were canceled.
- Club treasurer David Farnsworth, 51, called the decision "discrimination," noting the 194-member Northampton Sun Club has operated these sessions for 44 years without incident. Chairwoman Maggie Moreton said, "We just feel that there is no respect for our group."
- Everyone Active, which operates more than 230 leisure centers across the U.K., stood by the ban, stating the facility is "unable to secure the staffing agreements" required to run the sessions.
- Members of the Northampton Sun Club, who pay $13 each for access to the 30-meter pool, feel discriminated against but lack the funds to challenge the decision through the courts.
