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?

Not really a problem at my pool regarding the locker room, except for the "family" locker facilities. Is there some unwritten rule that says moms can go into the opposite sex locker rooms at any time to check on their sons? I have had two occasions when I was changing over with my two boys ages 5 and 3, where a mom has just barged into the locker room with no warning whatsoever, to check on her son. (who btw was at least 8 years old) And for some other unknown reason, at the Y during summer camps, you can expect that when the campers come into the boys locker room, they will be accompanied by both male and female counselors. Really weird if you ask me.
