I'm a board member for our swim club.
Last nite there was mention of a complaint from a senior high school swimmer who was uncomfortable with using a locker room with the adult master swimmers. We practice at the same time a few days out of the week.
This became an bigger issue last nite because we have a desire to run USA swimming at the same time as a few masters sessions in the evening and our coach voiced concern about everyone using the locker room at the same time and kids being uncomfortable.
Does your club run practices at the same time?
Have you run into issues like this?
How did you handle/manage locker room time?
Changing times overlap at our pool, and our locker-rooms are very small. There has never been a problem; this is a team with 800+ members (maybe 30-40 masters swimmers).
It is a little bit of an odd situation because there is no age limit on USAS-S registration, so the distinction with "masters" is a little blurred. I am a member of USAS-S and so are swimshark and Patrick, and we are all in our 40s. Some of us train with age-groupers at times, too. Lisa Bennett is a member at 55 and regularly swims in "kids" meets.
