Deck Changing

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. Yeah, well women don't have to worry as much about things getting caught in a zipper! :bolt: And I agree with lefty. It ain't a deck change unless you remove your suit completely. I'll also admit I've never been able to figure out how to wrap a towel around myself such that it won't fall off. Someone needs to teach me the secret!
