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, for one, never deck change at the pool, however... on the beach, at the park, near the lake, in the parking lot, etc. no big towel, no long t-shirt, just put a shirt on and do it quick. no one cares. don't draw attention.
i find it weird that the college team all shower with their suits on.
