Here's a quote that bothers me:
By strategically increasing the surface area, TYR has increased his/her ability to pull without increasing any resistance through the recovery. Just think of it as ascending an aquatic ladder.
Should these be allowed? I would guess that they are o.k. as far as current rules read, but I don't like it. I think these sleeves amount to an aid, sort of like wearing paddles. I guess the question is: what constitutes a swimsuit? Obviously caps are o.k., so you can't argue that it must be one piece.

Piking is like the pike dive. Off the starting blocks the body is bent at the waist, head and arms down, legs and feet down, rear up in the air. Arms and feet hit the water at the same time, followed by the ceter of the body. I
I like to call this the "lawnchair dive."
