Comments on: Edmonton’s Queen E pool delayed? http://alainsaffel.com/edmonton-queen-elizabeth-pool/ Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:09:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Karyn Murray http://alainsaffel.com/edmonton-queen-elizabeth-pool/comment-page-1/#comment-2893 Karyn Murray Wed, 10 Aug 2011 05:43:36 +0000 http://alainsaffel.com/?p=396#comment-2893 Have to say, never been to QE pool before today and I love, love, love, love the change rooms. I knew it a second it had to have been of European design and I am so please with it. This will be our permanent summer pool. I took my son (8) and my niece (7) and was absolutely delighted with the thought and planning and design of this structure. Sorry, but I just don't buy the "Lifeguards point of view", I am wiling to bet 100.00 he has no kids and is not a parent. I sincerely hope all facilities change over to this design. Waaaaaay better from this parent's perspective. Have to say, never been to QE pool before today and I love, love, love, love the change rooms. I knew it a second

He raises some very good points about why it might not be such a good idea, from the point of view of a staff member. While family-style change rooms are definitely convenient for a lot of people, I don't think it's necessarily ideal to eliminate the men's and women's changing room. That said, I haven't seen the plans, so it's tough to say whether it will work or not.
