Then I tried to take my kid to the bathroom and someone flagged me down like a linebacker screaming that parents aren't allowed in the "athlete bathroom" (mind you we are not at the Beijing Olympics pool - its a run down community center). So I had to go take my kid to the spectator bathroom like 2 blocks away.

I get that they want to protect kids, but the hyperfixation to the point where there's an announcement every 2 minutes effectively of how not to "take pics of kids butts" seems like it will cause some issues downroad...
