The naked bathers attempted the record in Wales, The Sun reported.

The bathers had to remain waist-deep for 10 minutes to break the previous Guinness Book record set by 250 people.

"It was exhilarating," 25-year-old Lizzy White who had flown in from Australia to take part in it was quoted as saying.

Added another nude bather, Sue Jones: "I've skinny-dipped in Greece and Spain. This was the first time in Wales - and the last."
