What an interesting thread Anya, thanks for raising this as it affects so many of us. Our local authority pool had family changing areas and by the time I could afford to join a local gym my grandsons were 11 and 13 so I felt (reasonably) ok about them using the male changing rooms.
Absent - the local private gyms I know of have family membership as well as individual, so the pools are well used by children. I used to swim at 7.30 before work as it was peaceful with only a few of us doing laps. Half term holidays to be avoided if you want peace n quiet
