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 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.
In high school before AM practice i forgot to pack undergarments and had to wear an extra suit underneath all day...not the most comfortable things.
I try to pack my gym bag the night before so I won't forget stuff when I head to the pool in the AM.
Yes, I DO bring my towel onto the pool deck because it is zebra print and fabulous!
I prefer to shower after swimming so deck-changing is not an option for me. IMHO, it is MUCH easier for guys than gals to accomplish one.
