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?

Given basic rules (no photos, no touching, etc.) then if you are not comfortable with nudity, don't go to a public change room. Report creepy and inappropriate behaviour - which, BTW, does not include a middle aged person removing their suit to shower.
The teens who are "uncomfortable" with naked adults probably watch a fair deal of nakedness or near nakedness on TV/movies/internet...kind of ironic.
My advice: Get a grip - we're talking the human body here, which is not an obscenity.
