Boys in girls' changerooms - how old is "too old"?

[OceanPrincess]

Our pool states those over 6 can't go into opposite sex change rooms

Ours says 7. We have a family change room but it's always very popular on Sat mornings! We never get in there!

Are the showers big enough to also change in? At our local there is one extra large shower cubicle in the womens change rooms. Certainly enough room to shower and change? Just option if you feel the need.

We are pretty open about nudity at home, but do feel in a public change room that people should be conscious that others are not. I am all for just getting it all done as quick as possible

Our pool is 6 or 7, I cant remember now, but there is only one combined disabled/family room

Frankly, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending a 6 yo in by himself. I think their should be three changerooms these days - Male / Female / And a communal Family one (that only families can use - eg men cant go in by themselves) - rather than one family clogging it up for 15 -20 mins
