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 ran across it in an article a long tome ago.
Actually, it was an estimate given by a very irate Aaron Piersol...who was all fired up about seeing the kick, and no one said anything.

From what I've seen at recent meets, the kick indeed gives a micro-burst of propulsion.
2/10ths?..hmmm? That estimation might make sense given that the 200 meter record fell by a full second. (or was it the suit? )
