[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]To be honest, when I walk into my pool and all I see is 70's bush, I am not exactly psyched myself. [/b]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.

At our pool, the rule is that if you have waxed or shaved your privates, it's OK to be fully nude in the locker room.  But if you have full bush (or loose flappy visible lips) you are supposed to cover up with a towel.  [/quote]
