The act of wrapping a towel around an athlete’s body in order to change into or remove a swim-suit in public is known as “deck dressing/changing.” The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) policy states: swimmers/divers are prohibited from changing into or out of swimsuits (deck dressing/changing) outside the designated locker rooms at any level of PIAA sanctioned competition including warm-ups. Member schools are strongly encouraged to adopt a similar policy for all practice sessions held during the PIAA swimming/diving season.
