Group shower world record broken

The world record for the most people showering together has been broken on a British beach.

Up to 152 men and women donned their swimming trunks and bikinis to set the Guinness World Record on Bournemouth beach, breaking the previous feat of 145 individuals bathing together in Chicago in 2009.

Anna Orford, the official adjudicator for Guinness World Records, praised the locals for their achievement.

She said: "The people of Bournemouth have to be applauded for getting into the spirit of the day and taking a shower together.

"Their reward is a new record for the most people showering simultaneously at the same venue. Congratulations to everyone involved."
