It's interesting to come back to this after so long. The pool I frequent was purchased by a German family a few months ago. They've slowly been instituting a few changes. The first was to hire a
new aquatics director. They've been doing some renovations to the spa area as well. It's been closed almost since they took over.
They recently sent out a letter to all members outline some policy changes. It's not at all what I expected. Some excerpts below.

What is Freikörperkultur (FKK)?
Growing up in Germany, one of life's greatest pleasures was a visit to the local swimming hole or therme. Here men, women, boys, and girls enjoyed the freedom of being uninhibited and free. FKK or Free Body Culture encourages acceptance of all bodies, young, old, big, or small. In our increasingly judgmental culture, we believe this to be an important value. As such, we will be implementing policies that encourage body acceptance. While we make this changes, we encourage you to come to us with any questions or concerns you may a have.

Spa
The spa area between the locker rooms will be reopening soon. We thank you for your patience during construction.
Dress Code
To maintain the cleanliness of renovated spa area, we require that members use the spa without a bathing suit (i.e. nude). A cleansing shower is required before entering the spa area. Please sit on a clean towel when using the dry sauna. Towels are not permitted in the steam sauna. A hose is available inside the steam sauna to cleanse the benches before and after use.
Age Restrictions
Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian while using the spa area.

Locker Rooms
Children in Opposite Sex Locker Rooms
We believe that it is up to parents to decide when their children are ready to go into their own locker room unaccompanied. Therefore, as long as they are accompanied by a parent, we do not restrict the age of children allowed to use the opposite gender locker rooms.

Beginning the first Friday in November (the 6th) the pool will be open for FKK Freedom Fridays. All day Friday, the pool is restricted to nude use only. No bathing suits are permitted. Members may also bring up to 3 guests free instead of paying the regular fee.
