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?
but I don't feel comfortable changing in front of even 3-4 year old little boys. Mostly because you never know how their mothers will react, as on occasion they have complained about less.
That would be great. They take their child into the opposite sex dressing room and then complain about someone being naked in there.
Men bring their young daughters into the changing room all the time at my pool and I've got no qualms about taking my suit off. I don't feel I should need to alter my behavior because they are in there. If it's a big concern for the parent they should get the kid into their swimsuit at home and drive them home wet afterward.
