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.
Deck changing is de rigueur. Who in their right mind is going to tire out their legs walking to a cramped, overcrowded (dark, cold, damp, etc) locker room when you can change "on the spot"?
Answer: A woman putting on or taking off a B70.
Now, I'm perfectly fine pulling down the straps of said suit and putting on a t-shirt. That can be done discretely enough.
