1 & 2 are just fine with "nude" -- you don't need to use "naked" although that works.
3. This feels incorrect -- their state of being nude does not necessarily mean they had to swim in the pond but that is what your sentence is attempting to say. I would use 1 or 2 instead.
4. Can you really swim "nakedly?" -- no, that makes no sense. "They swam naked in the pond."
