Just enjoy it. Take a towel with you if want to cover up. Some boys do walk around naked. Sometimes boners do happen too

Just realise that there might be people in the same position as you and feeling just as uncomfortable as you by the time u get to the showers, but couldn't u just wait till u get home to have a shower??? Any way just focus on the excitement of being in a swimming team, I was once in one and was so excited that I forgot about the whole changing thing. I ended up coming 7th out of 9 in my race but oh well XD. Oh yh isn't there changing cubicles??? Oh well just enjoy swimming!

Do what ever everyone else does and act like they do. in my school it was totally cool with everyone to walk completely naked from the shower and back to the locker room and stand around talking when naked and having a boner was okay too. Another kid here said everyone at his school wore a towel wrapped around them as much as possible, otherwise it was called "TMI".

In 2 years? Why are you worried now? I would just hurry with things and I'm sure others feel the same way.

Do what makes you comfortable. I've heard of plenty of guys towel changing in swim so whatever happens you can always still use a towel.

It's because I have to train myself this year and next year I start.....

I play sports, so locker rooms are the norm for me. I keep body wash, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, and cologne in my locker. In my bag I carry clean jocks, towels, wash cloth, and briefs. Also, a large zip lock bag for wet stinky stuff.
Someone posted to shower when you get home. That does not work for me because of time and distance, also, after I swim I want to get the chlorine out of my hair and off my body before I put clothes on. Nakedness in the locker room is a given, however, you have a lot of time to get comfortable with your naked body. Start now being naked as much as possible at home, with friends, and in bed. The more comfortable you are with your body the more comfortable you will be in the locker room. Good luck with the swim team. Team sports are a lot of fun and great developmental for skills, personality, and relationships.

In 2 years... That's planning ahead a lot.
Just go with it. Everyone will be doing the same and expect it so don't be nervous

It'll be fine, everyone else is probably feeling awkward, and even if it is open showers, you are all boys. And if you are worried about boners, just take a cold shower!

Just bring swimming shorts and a towel. If you gotta shower just do it in the shorts and bring soap/shampoo. If showers are naked avoid them and shower home.

Well, I went swimming with our school for 2 years and all guys shared a locker therr, but that was before we all hit puberty, so yeah. I'd hate to do it again.
