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.
This is also why here in New England, for age group meets, officially, cell phones are banned in locker rooms. This usually interpreted as "use of" cell phones is banned in locker rooms. It's just too easy to snap pictures with those things.

Cell phone use is supposed to be banned in my gym's locker rooms, but it doesn't seem to stop anyone from talking on their phones. Or pretending to. :bolt:
