[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YMCA has a policy of no opposite sex children allowed after age 6.  My child has fine and gross motor issues and we practiced for a whole year so he can go into the men's room by himself at age 7.  He just couldn't do it before that.  As it is, he doesn't have enough strength to open the doors to the locker room.  I have to open it to allow him to get out.

That's just too old if you let him go through the girls' room up to 7.  I know it is a huge pain, but I either don't have my son shower or change at the pool, or we change and not shower (and hold a towel up), or we wait in line forever for the family room.  I cannot stand seeing boys who are over 5 in the girls' room...and I know what a huge pain it is to have a younger son. You could meet your son at the door and open it for him if you had to.[/quote]

He would only change in girls locker room if it was cold and he could not ride home in a wet bathing suit.  He never showers in the locker room and comes dressed in bathing suit from home.  If he had to travel in the locker room, he was required to look a the floor all the way thru.  There is one family changing room which is really just a bathroom.  And the Y has probably 3-4 classes going on at one time, so you can see there is a need for more family changing rooms, just no where to put them. [/quote]

We don't live in the Arctic!  So he gets cold.  Have him towel his hair and wrap up warmly, run out to the car and then you turn the heat on. [/quote]
