Who are Nudists?
We are everyone. We may be
your doctor, your neighbor, or the clerk at the grocery
store. We are just average people who enjoy the peace and
comfort that social nudity brings us. We are young, old,
tall, short, fat or skinny. Just pain folks from everywhere. |
Welcome
to West Penn Naturists. WPN,
founded in 1981, is a family nudist swim club located in Pittsburgh,
Pa. We gather at a well heated indoor pool for swimming, sharing
good food, and socializing. Membership is comprised of couples,
families, and singles.
Have you ever been curious to try nudism?
WPN is the place to come discover
what you've been missing. You won't find a friendlier bunch of
folk. Bring a towel to sit on, beverage of your choice, a folding
chair, and a snack to share.
On average, you'll find 30-50 members and guests present, though
some nights there are more, ranging in age from toddlers to grand
parents. You can join in a game of water volleyball, swims laps
in an Olympic size pool, enjoy the
sauna, use the tanning bed, allow a professional masseuse to
melt your tensions, or just find a quiet corner to relax in.
There is always a buffet table loaded with snacks and covered
dishes brought to share. All in a non-sexual family atmosphere.
You will be amazed at how spending an evening with us can make
a bone chilling Pittsburgh winter just a little more bearable.
Swims are on selected Saturday evenings, from 8pm till midnight.
Be sure to check the schedule for
theme nights, theme dinners, and fun contests.
Once summer rolls around, we plan weekend camping trips together
at landed nudist clubs.
Come join us for an evening of fun, food, and
exercise, in a safe nudist setting.
Quoting from
Genesis, "They were nude but they were not ashamed."
Furthermore, because God created it, "The human body can
remain nude and uncovered and preserve its splendor and its
beauty."
Read how
other people, just like you, felt about their first WPN swim
experiences on the 1st timers page.
For many it was their first social nude event.
Listen to an
audio broadcast of a wife's fears of accompanying her husband on
their first experience to the nude beach. True story!

BE A PART OF HISTORY
Guinness World Records has agreed to recognize our attempt to
have the most people skinny dipping simultaneously across North
America (and beyond). This record is sponsored by the American
Association for Nude Recreation (aanr) and will take place at over
270 locations simultaneously at exactly 3:00 pm eastern nudist time
on July 11, 2009.
White Thorn Lodge will function as an outlet for anyone in the
Western Pennsylvania/Eastern Ohio/WV area who is interested in
participating in this event to discuss details and generate some
excitement.
WHERE, WHEN AND HOW???
The Where?......White Thorn Lodge, Western Pennsylvania's premier
nudist resort www.whitethornlodge.org
, will be an official AANR destination for this event. It is a
beautiful facility located in western Pennsylvania, conveniently
located within an hours drive of Pittsburgh, Erie, Cleveland, Akron
,Canton, and Wheeling. Of course, over 200+ facilities world-wide
will also be participating..A complete list of all participating
venues is available on the AANR (American Association for Nude
Recreation) website.
The When?.......Saturday July 11th, 2009 at 3:pm at the beautiful
White Thorn Lodge pool. Please get there early, as we need to get an
accurate head count in order to be eligible for the Guinness World
Book. In Fact, why not make a weekend of it? Numerous activities
will be happening all weekend long to commemorate National Nude
Week, including a dance that evening in the clubhouse.
The How?......Well, that's up to you...all you have to do is show up
and participate. Everyone is welcome. Young, old, tall, short,
square, round, etc...If you've never skinny-dipped before, now is
the perfect opportunity to cross that off your bucket list, and be a
part of history at the same time.
UPDATE: June 2, 2009 ... The Professional PR firm working with us on
this Event has started the foot work to bring this event into the
National Media spot-light. There have been some interviews conducted
with the AANR office and we anticipate the national media releases
to be distributed in a couple of weeks, since National coverage has
such a short memory, we have decided to go for the big coverage
closer to the actual date.
Keep spreading the word, we are getting a lot of interest shown from
some of the college crowd, and I'm looking forward to a large
turnout on July 11th.
UPDATE: May 6 ... AANR has the website updated to show this Event.

swimsuit really a product of a higher intelligence, or is it
something concocted out of a society so out of touch with it's own
