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've been to a lot of meets and workouts in my life and I can't recall ever being flashed from a poor deck change. Actually I don't understand how you can reach up under a towel and pull your suit off without exposing yourself, but swimmers seem to pull this feat off all the time.
