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 have to "deck" change after swimming when the lake is cold. Gotta get that freezing suit off! It's a bit of a challenge while shivering, though!!
I just take a big blanket, throw it over my head and assume that if I can't see who I'm mooning, it's just not happening. :D
