The Frolicking Naked Women in the YMCA Locker Room

In addition to traditional physical therapy, I also do pool therapy at the YMCA. It's very effective and I enjoy floating in the water at the end of a long session. But there's one thing I'm not so fond of. The naked women who feel it's necessary to frolic around the locker room completely naked. Now, I don't mean to sound rude, but I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT. Yes, I understand if you quickly change your clothes in the corner with your back to everyone. But when you're standing in the mirror doing your hair, hanging out in front of the fan while you dry off, or doing every single thing you need to do, while you're naked, it's a little bit much. Don't ya think?

I'm that awkward age where I'm way too old to use the girls' locker room, but I'm not as old and saggy as many of the women in in the women's locker room. I feel like there needs to be a "young adult" locker room for people that don't appreciate hanging out with naked old women.

The thing about these women I'm describing is that they have absolutely no modesty. So when they're hanging their saggy boobs out to dry by the doorway, people have to awkwardly squeeze by. But my problem is, because I'm in a wheelchair, I can't just squeeze by. Instead, I have to run face first into these women because they WON'T MOVE! It's actually quite a traumatic event for me. So when I go to pool therapy I try to spend as little time as possible in the locker room. I come already in my bathing suit, and when I get dressed, I do so in the bathroom stall.

Maybe next time I should try to use the family locker room.
