Okay, be honest...

Well... my hair's short enough to get away w'o the cap. Wore the goggles, was glad I did. Everyone else there had them.

While on 'what's kosher and what isn't'...
is there any method that's generally accepted for changing in the locker room? I'm accustomed to the Sauna and hot springs/hippy way of 'changing'. Take it off and go. I just don't want to offend peoples' delicate sensibilities, or come off oddly for just whipping my clothes off. I can kind of 'get' it that one dresses/undresses as quickly as they can practically, but is there anything else to it? People either seem terrified of changing in general, or they 'look' a little more than I'm used to.

Hmmm cant help with that one. Im always in such a hurry and because I live close to the pool I just chuck on a tracksuit over the wet gear and shower when I get home.

I think the whole changing in front of strangers is a comfort/confidence thing. Take me as an example. I can pick my bod apart from top to toe and find fault with everything. Because of that, I am embarassed to show skin in front of people. You won't see me doing it. (YET ) Now, if someone is confident enough and secure enough to strip down to their skivies (sp?) in a locker room than I say go for it. If people stare, let em! (the pervs). Its just jealousy.

And if they don't like it, to quote Knot, F*ck 'em! Besides, they'd probably be too busy looking at your goofy goggles.
