A nude family swim is taking place at a waterpark in Staffordshire this weekend, despite angry critics.
The annual activity - which will see families being permitted to swim naked inside Waterworld park in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday - ignited fury from locals last time around.
In fact, there was even a small group of protestors outside the venue, with some suggesting that the child nudity could lure in pedophiles.

Plus an online petition was created calling for the event to be banned.
But its organisers, British Naturism, continue undeterred this year, announcing they will be back this Saturday despite critics.
The event typically attracts around 300 naturists, and they're allowed to enjoy the slides and pools with no clothes on.

This year, there's uproar about it again, too.
"Disgusting to think you will be allowing children to be put at risk! We will not be coming to waterworld again," one individual wrote on Waterworld's official Facebook page.
While another penned: "How on earth is it ok to run a nudist event? How do the kids consent to playing around with other naked adults?"
According to Stoke-on-Trent Live, who have seen an email from organisers, there are no plans to call off the event, despite safety concerns and the ongoing Covid-19 risk.

Tickets to attend the event cost £18 per adult if you're a British Naturist member, and £24 for non-members.
Despite anger about the event, Waterworld said it would not cancel it, seeing as British Naturism is a 'law-abiding' organisation.
A British Naturism spokesman said: "British Naturism is an organisation that has been in existence for over 50 years with many of our clubs being even older. We have a membership of 9,000 over 18s.
"We take our safeguarding and health and safety responsibility seriously and review our practices in advance of every event we run.

"We have a robust child and vulnerable adults safeguarding policy - it's actually rather ignorant of the complainers to assume that we don't. It was developed in conjunction with the NSPCC and is reviewed annually.
"We also have a strict 'no cameras' rule with any photographs to record the event only being taken by our official photographer, who follow certain guidelines about what can be taken.
"Children at our events are always supervised by their parents and not allowed to attend unaccompanied - unlike schools, churches, scouts, play areas and other venues where parents opt to leave their children in the care of others.
"Naturist swims are being successfully - and safely - run all around the country throughout the year."

In a latter to publication The Sentinel, Mo Chaudry, owner of Waterworld, said: "We have been unjustly accused of encouraging pedophiles. Far Right protest group Britain First has been trying to whip up a frenzy by handing out inflammatory flyers.
"Some of our staff have even been subjected to unacceptable and unwarranted personal abuse. So it's time to set the record straight and get this situation into perspective.
"British Naturism is a perfectly law-abiding organisation which has been hiring our venue - and many similar sites across the UK - for private swimming events for more than 20 years.
"In all that time, the Waterworld sessions have passed off happily and peacefully, and we have never had any reasons for concern.
"It's important to point out that these events are completely private. They are not open to anyone to simply walk in off the street.
"They are restricted to the organisation's members and pre-registered guests, and no children attend without parents or guardians."
