[Avodah] When does mixed swimming mean?

But who says its davka the water? Maybe it's that when she's bathing,
she's naked, and any women who bathes naked at the same time and place
as the men...the water would be irrelevant, because if she were to be
naked in a dry waterless bath house, we'd be no less critical place.
It would seem to be davka how she's dressing.

Well, now I'm simply curious, what'd be the problem if the bath house
has separate hours for men and women, and they use it at different
times, with never one seeing the other? The men and women use the same
physical location, but NEVER at the same time. Why is this grounds for
divorcing her? Where is the immorality?
