it is only awkward on the first day. Till you realize there is nothing to be worried about.
Yes it is.
That's a personal choice. However, it's best to shower at the gym if you go swimming.
no
Not intentionally unless they are partners (as in a couple) or if they have to in communal showers at a gym, school, etc. But generally speaking - no.

Different teachers may use different metrics, so it's hard to say. In my high school, taking a shower every day got you the highest possible grade. If you skipped the shower, you lost points. Getting to a B- would have required you to skip the shower about one day a week.
If you mean the type of arrangement in a gym, boarding school, prison or army facility where people of the same gender shower together (though each under their own shower fitting) then you might refer to it as a shower room, communal showers or perhaps ablution block or shower block- or simply' the showers' as in the phrase 'ok boys, hit the showers'. Individual showers could be referred to as 'shower cubicles' or 'private showers.'
no
Absolutely! Who wants to smell like chlorine?
