Take a look at the press release posted on swiminfo.com: www.swiminfo.com/.../6949.asp
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.
Why do technological advances disgust a person? The person still has to swim. Don't fear change, embrace it.
Aren't swimcaps just glorified head bands then since they aren't connected to the suit? If you can cover your head with a detached device, why not the arms?
I like companies that push the limits. Otherwise, it gets dull.
