    QS, This statement really interests me, as it could cut 0.4 seconds off a 50 SCY if it's true. Where did you read this? Has anyone else seen it? I don't have much of an SDK to use, but was planning on focusing/working on it this upcoming year. I'd sure like to think it would be worth this much improvement. It's been said that a pulse from a quick dolphin kick on a breaststroke pullout might offer as much as 2/10 ths of a second. That's the difference between 1st and 2nd in many races. It's likely that there will be cameras focused on every turn this summer. Whether or not instant replay ever gets used by FINA officials is another story.
