Up to what age do you feel it's ok to bring a girl into the men's locker room at a pool?

Why or why not?

well, the fact that it's called a men's locker room seems to suggest that it's for men, not women.. so I'd say never.. it's not a matter of age.. nudity isn't a big deal.. but just that it's for men not girls or women

@Adaydreambeliever so okay say you have no female with you to escort them into the female dressing room and watch them

@Smalljuan well as i see it.. nudity isn't a problem.. it is only that a) the men might feel they don't want a girl there.. and b) the girl, if not used to nudity, might be uncomfortable.. I can't imagine a scenario where you'd need to take a girl into a men's locker room but perhaps i am misunderstanding the term.. Here we have changing rooms for when we go swimming, now that dads, (quite rightly!) take more active roles in raising kids and childcare then it's entirely possible a dad will need to accompany a daughter ... and they can't go into the women's changing area... but even there there's usually family changing areas.. so you'd go there rather than the men's

@Adaydreambeliever babysitting for a friend taking him to the local fun area that has in arcades all sorts of stuff indoor wave pool in a couple slides. It's just small enough I don't think they do have family changing rooms. Yes they are okay with nudity

@Smalljuan ok so when you say taking him.. was that a slip of the tongue? Here even small local public swimming pools have cubicles for just one or two people and/or family areas..
My thinking is.. either it's not a big deal and you shouldn't make it so... or perhaps it's not the best idea to take a female child you don't know well swimming.. there are alternatives.. so unless he's specified he wants you to take her swimming.. i'd wonder why you chose swimming.. perhaps this is a big deal for you... perhaps there's an agenda here?

@Adaydreambeliever sorry that was not a slip of the tongue I am voice texting when I said them it printed him. No I wasn't sure about the older daughter but I am now the two younger ones will be okay with me I believe but the nine-year-old should be in the girls room by herself.
