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.
The only thing that makes sense to me at 5 am is coming the pool in my pajamas. Then I change in the locker room which you have to go through to get to the pool that I use. I go home in my pajamas too.
Eventually I get to work, not in my pajamas...
This is what I do...roll out of bed in my pajamas, throw on my fuzzy slippers, and head to the pool. I am so not a morning person, and I'm too sleepy to bother putting my suit on before heading out the door.
On the other hand, I probably set records for the most time spent getting ready before my workouts. It always takes me forever in the locker room, especially afterwards, but it works for me. First thing in the morning it's always a mad dash to grab an empty lane, and I'm just not in the mood for that when I'm still shaking off the sleep.
