[quote=Anonymous]Our pool went through this. They used to say no boys 4 or over in the women's changing room. Four! I think that's a bit much. My friend's four year old (not motor delayed or special needs) reminds me of how little they still are at four. So I'm anti-that. Then they raised it to 5+, which still pissed some people off on both sides. So now the members are demanding a family room.

As for me, I simply do not change out in the open. My kid is still super young and isn't body aware yet at 2.5. When he's older, I'll change him in a screened off area. It's not a big deal, but we live in a society where open nudity can feel shocking to some. To be honest, when I walk into my pool and all I see is 70's bush, I am not exactly psyched myself. But that doesn't mean I'm going to tell someone else not to do it. However, that's not for me. I change in the stalls - either the changing stalls or the bathroom stalls. This works fine in our pool because there is never a line for the bathrooms, ever. I could see finding that annoying if the bathrooms were in higher demand and you were making someone else wait.

Anyway, family changing rooms seem to be a pretty good answer. But boy am I glad our pool at least does not have the stupid requirement to walk through locker rooms to get in. I've always disliked that even before I had kids, because to be honest, again, I'd rather spare myself the sight of naked bodies I dont' want to see naked. Not saying they shuldn't be able to do it, just voicing my own preference / comfort level.
