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.
If your deck change malfunction video went viral would it make you embarrassed or proud? Maybe that's a good test question to assess your fitness level!
That's one thing if you're an adult masters swimmer... you can be embarrassed or proud on your own terms. But if said deck change malfunction is a 12-year-old, it's a different story.
