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 don't know. I'll tell you this, though. I'd sometimes wear my suit under my clothes to the pool when I was a kid. Whenever I did this I'd invariably forget to pack my underwear and be forced to go home commando after practice. Do this a couple times and you learn it's worth the extra couple minutes changing time to just put your suit on when you get to the pool.
I leave the pool commando-style after every practice. I go straight home to take a shower there (I'm a stay at home mom so no work place to go to). I've been doing it this way for 8 or more years.
