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?
We have an overlap as well with the one billion USAS swimmers at our club. The kids will go through unnatural gyrations to change without exposing themselves. While us old geezers are much less modest I will admit I try to be aware of when there are a ton of kids in the locker room and maybe be more discreet than normal. I kind of look at it as kids come first at our club and I don't need to incur any unneeded hassle, although there is a really good relationship between the kids and USMS swimmers.
