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 can't imagine not showering after swimming, so there's no reason for a deck change. A beach change, OTOH, is a whole different story.
I sort of agree with geek. Showing up to the pool with your suit already on is weird. It just is.
If you smelled the locker rooms at NHS on a weekday night you would probably come prepared to jump in! Any other facility I use.....I change in the locker rooms. :angel: I'm not a clean freak, but I do have my limits on filth oozing between my toes!
Besides, what's wrong with a swimsuit under sweats? I drive straight home (commando) afterwards and basically go to bed.
