Welcome to the most fun you can have with your clothes on. You've found the premier trend sport e-zine about swimming in clothes and other zany water sports.

Adventure Sports

Wet adventure sports like canoeing, surfing, coasteering or rockhopping have become more popular lately. New fun sports are appearing and growing into new trendsports, like swimming in clothes (aka Phatdipping, opposite of Skinny Dipping).

Learn Swimming in Clothes

We are often asked how to learn swimming fully clothed. Most water sports require swimming in clothes as an essential skill, because a good soaking is often part of their appeal. Wet clothes are just part of the game. Be it sailing, canoeing, kite surfing or adventure racing, you wouldn't do it just in swimming briefs.

Aquatic Gym for Healthy Fitness

Clothes in the water are the aquatic equivalent to weight lifting. The extra weight of wet clothes provides a great resistance exercise. Now you can build up extra stamina and endurance to enhance your health.

Wet Clothing Tips

Most water sports by definition get you soaking wet. We show you what to wear in the water and how to manage your wet clothes. Also the water sports pages feature occasional fashion tips. Do you know when to swim in jeans or sailing kit?

Travel: Songkran in Thailand

The biggest water party on the planet. In mid April millions of people splash each other soaking wet, fully clothed of course. It is hot (ca. 35°C) and the best way to keep cool is to wear wet clothes. See our Songkran 2010 photos.

 Our Mission

Wacky Wet World is an online magazine with information on wet outdoor activities and sports, fashion, lifestyle and our popular photo albums. By bringing together water sport and outdoor fans this site serves as a hub for a global community of people who enjoy a more interesting style of swimwear.

Our History

Established in October 1996, Wacky Wet World was created by the web designers of intereliant.com as a protest against internet censorship. Rather than showing adult content, they did the opposite and published some photos of fully clothed people, but soaking wet.

It turned out to be a great success with our readers. Starting with a single page it soon became the market leader of the wetlook fashion scene serving over 100,000 unique visitors a month. A large photo album with thousands of images and frequent updates keeps readers entertained to this day.

In the new millennium swimming in clothes became more popular and wet clothes became fashionable on the beach and at pool parties.
