Do you wear something on your feet in the locker room or not?
With all the icky stuff around, I started to wear plastic slides in the locker, shower & on to the pool deck since they let all the parents wear their outside shoes on the deck to watch their kids do lessons.
Despite the unfair knocks on chlorine in this other thread (U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums - View Single Post - According to new study Chlorinated pools may lead to cancer), I believe in the healing and protective power of this magical chemical. When I walk out of a pool and into a locker room, I'm encased in a force field of clean that prevents all locker room beasties from attacking me. Never had athlete's foot while I had swimming as my primary athletic pursuit.
Now, locker rooms not frequented primarily by swimmers should be avoided at all costs; those land sports folks are just downright dirty.
