I recently got a email from my age group swim team. They sent out a mass email about deck changing. Ohio rules now are if you are caught changing on deck before or after practice you are then suspended for a week and also the next swim meet. If caught at a meet doing this, you will be immediately removed from meet and the team will suspend you one week.
Is this pretty much a standard rule across the club teams or now a USS rule? I suppose I can see how this can become an issue and concern. Have to say I have not seen many masters doing the deck change, although I admit, I have deck changed at a masters meet but not at a USS meet.
I thought deck-changing was like rule #3 or #4 in the swimmer's handbook? I'll let the tech suits go by the wayside, but banning deck-changing is un-American. :canada:
By the way, how come we've got a Canadian flag bearing emoticon, but not a stars-n-stripes? First the dollar goes to parity and now this!
