Mixed locker rooms and board shorts

[Torchwatch]

These mixed locker rooms are called Changing Villages. When they started to be installed in new pools there was a problem of people drilling holes in the walls to view the person in the next cubicle.
Being 6'2" I find the cubicles too small and would far prefer the old style changing rooms with lockers around the walls and benches and coat hooks in the middle.
Although there are family changing room in the village (which are also used by schools and teams) if you arrive to swim with a few friends you all have to disappear into the personal cubicles to get changed.

In the old Victorian pool that was demolished in the 1970's there were cubicles down the length of the pool, men one side, women the other. At the shallow end of the pool was the clothing store, you collected a basket on arrival, queued to exchange it for a numbered rubber wrist band, and queued again to retrieve your clothes when you wanted to leave.
