Fortunately, our pool has explicit rules. This way, everyone knew what to expect.
No child above the age of 6 is allowed in the opposite sex bathroom. There are 6 changing rooms which parents can use to change their opposite sex children in and out of wet clothes. However, for bathrooms, children above six need to use the appropriate sex bathroom. When my wife took our two sons to the pool (ages 6-7), she would stand outside the door while the boys went in. If they took longer than she expected, she would open the door a crack (there was a short hallway that turned a corner to get into the bathroom so there was nothing to see) and call in to them and have them respond. |
