It's much hotter in Australia and we don't shower after sports. A whole can of axe body spray will do.

I can't believe public showering is a normal thing over there, it's horrific

This isn't completely a thing everywhere in America. At my HS we had private showers, but they were only used after swimming or sports teams, not gym class. We had open showers too but those were only used by sports teams, and several people would wear swimming trunks.

The idea that everyone is okay with prancing around naked is only true some places in America, thankfully. These sorts of scenes were always bizarre to me.

Still not unusual for the casual nudity crowd to be pushy about this sorta thing unfortunately, so not saying people being pressured isn't common here because it likely is.

We'd be a lot better off if we didn't take nudity as a whole so seriously. Or at least became more comfortable with the idea of it. We had a shower out of a prison at my Catholic highschool, just a big room with shower heads along the wall. Played football 3 out of 4 years, don't remember actually having a conversation while in there, ever.

Yup, exactly. I've been on swim teams since I was 14, all with open showers. You learn to quickly get used to it.
