No Nudity allowed in swimming pool locker rooms?

Don't know if any of you have seen this.. Very interesting and sad....

"It never occurred to the 67-year-old healing facilitator and former engineer that it was inappropriate to take all his clothes off in the locker room to shower and change.

But the South Shore municipality informed swimmers in its November newsletter that nudity is forbidden in changing rooms."

Read the story for the explanation.

What do you guys think about this?

I guess that means that swimming nude in the pool would be barred as well :-(

"Wow!, this a new one and sounds like these folks are real prudes. I'm somewhat shy about swimming in the nude, unless with a special group. I really like wearing my snug bright colored speedo swim suits in the pool or swim clubs. Being naked in a men's locker room while changing is just a normal thing at a health or swim club. I do see some guys in swim club the locker rooms doing a strip dance while stripping off their tight wet swim briefs and really enjoy showing off. When it's time to change after swimming, I'll strip off my speedos in the showers, slowly getting them off in private. I'll wear a towel in the locker room, once naked and out of the showers. I see plenty of guys naked in the locker room while getting dressed and doesn't bother any one of us. No nudity in the pool or locker rooms being proposed by the prudish fools will never pass, so enjoy getting naked, peeling off those:rolleyes: tight wet speedo in the shower and being naked while changing in the locker rooms.

Men changing in the nude together isn't a problem. Neither is women, but it's 2017 and everything is about catering for the needs of the transgender person. :rolleyes:

I don’t find nudity offensive. But other people do I guess. I’m not opposed to the idea of coed locker rooms/bathrooms but if people are generally still uncomfortable being naked in front of the opposite sex, maybe it’s too soon for coed locker rooms.

In the changing village model everyone gets changed inside locked cubicles, then they put their clothes in the lockers provided. Showers are poolside and everyone showers in their costumes. Larger cubicles for families and the disabled are provided in the village.
Separate Ladies and Gents toilets are usually between the changing area and the showers.
Using a changing village as a single man feels entirely soulless, a mixture of closed doors, cramped cubicles and hygienic washable surfaces.

Banning naked showers in the men's changing room as practice for a changing village is ridiculous. The pool will have to be closed for several days for the changing room to changing village refit, when it reopens it will be so obvious that the changing village and showers are a mixed area that no one will consider changing in the open where there are no benches or hooks available.

In this case the needs of transsexuals being the deciding factor in refitting changing rooms is just an excuse designed to blame an unpopular group for an unnecessary change. There already seem to be cubicles in both changing rooms and the transsexuals can use these.

At one of my local sports centre health spas there is a notice saying that someone was recently reported to the police for misbehaviour and that the police will be called if anyone misbehaves again. The notice had been up for 5 years when I last saw it so perhaps calling the police is less f an issue that might be assumed.
