PC Nonsense is Bizarre
by Judith Collins - I
find the stance taken by the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre absolute nonsense. This
was where a mother changing her 16 month old daughter by the side of the pool
in order to keep a watchful eye on her other young children that were
swimming, was told that there was a ban on child nudity
2006-0719 - NZ Herald - Father told
to stop filming son on pool slide
by Maggie McNaughton - An
Auckland father of three is outraged that he and his wife were told to stop
filming their 1-year-old son going down a slide by attendants at a Mt Albert
swimming pool. Alistair Hayward contacted the Herald yesterday in response to
an article about a mother in Canterbury who was dressing her 16-month-old by
the side of a pool when an attendant told her child nudity was banned. He
said the incident happened at the Philips Aquatic Centre in March last year.
2006-0719 - NZ Herald - Child
nudity ban at pools
A Christchurch pool has banned
parents from changing their children in public, citing offence taken by some
swimmers and concern about paedophiles photographing naked children. We asked
readers what was an unacceptable age for children to be changed in public - Letters from 40 readers; some selected
comments:
Isn't this the hidden agenda for all these silly rules, that
men are all evil and should be eliminated from the face of this world?
a bit of common sense
is needed her
This is PC gone mad.
I am just grateful that pool manager Ann Bergman does not have responsibility
for our public conveniences.
The pool's attitude is the offensive thing here
I am gobsmacked to read that the PC nonsense brigade has invaded swimming
pools now
I agree with the pool rules to ban child nudity

suits please
Often when caregivers
take children to the local pool, the hardest part is getting them out of the
water and dressed. When they are younger, it's often easiest to dry them and
dress them by the side of the pool. But some pools think toddler nudity is a
problem, and for their own protection parents are being warned not to expose
their youngsters in public. Amanda Crozier has been told the community pool
where she takes her family for fun and entertainment is also a place where
perverts may be lurking
2006-0718 - NZ Herald - Mum in hot
water at public pool over child nudity ban
 by Jarrod Booker - Amanda Crozier was dressing her 16-month-old
daughter at the side of a public swimming pool when an attendant approached
and told her there was a ban on child nudity. "You're kidding me, aren't
you?" the mother of four replied. No, they were not. She was handed a
notice that explained the policy was designed to "minimise the
risks".

Gone Mad?
 Transcript
- Some pools seem to
think that toddler nudity is a problem and for their own protection parents
are being warned not to expose their youngsters in public. Who knows who may
be watching or photographing or videoing.
So are how our pool people paranoid or protecting the
public?.......... It all happened here at the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre. It's a
Council owned facility.
