These issues have been addressed ad-nauseam. Read the thread. The conversation has naturally evolved to the root cause of why nudity itself is considered taboo, as it (as a taboo) is why children are considered more vulnerable in this situation than a regular pool situation where a bathing suit is included. Discussions evolve.
The arguments addressing your exact issues have been as follows:
- the restrictions are sufficient (ID, no cameras, lifeguards and community policing)
- perverts are an overblown worry
- the issue of consent is no more relevant than any other situation where children are involved, even the more mundane (considereding the goal of this is to normalise nudity)
Before lecturing on talking past each other, I’d recommend reading the thread so that you don’t talk past all the arguments that address your concerns. I can quote the posts if you’d like, but it’s not a very long thread.
