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?
This reminds me of sauna issues. In europe, saunas are coed and absolutely no bathing suits allowed. towels, however; must be used to sit on benches. b/c I have lived in Europe and in the USA, if i'm in Europe i go with what they do, if i am here, i go with what is done here, depending on pool or team I am swimming with.
There is a NOWA who sits in our sauna naked every morning around 6am. The sauna is in the women's locker room only so only us females see her but - ewwww. I don't go in that sauna for fear of what that NOWA is leaving behind.
