Many were cancers survivors, who used the mass naked swim as a way to overcome self-confidence issues related to mastectomy scars. It has since become an annual event, raising 153,000 euros ($180,000) for children's cancer charities, not including this year's record-breaking swim.

The previous record was set in Western Australia in 2015 when 786 participants swam naked to promote a positive body image near the regional capital Perth, in waters that are usually around 23C at that time of year.
