I'm led to believe most pools have this arrangement now, which I feel causes more men to wear board shorts, because women will see them more in their swimwear than if the locker rooms were separate.

Personally I'm not bothered...

I don't understand. Why would guys switch to board shorts. If everyone is dressing in a cubicle, what difference does it make? And, again, why are you concerned about what other guys are swimming in?
