YouTube - 100 free semi final -world record by alain bernard
Another world record in the 100 meter free. Looks like Bernard is wearing an Arena tech suit. It seemed like a pretty controlled swim. I wonder how long it will take to get down to 46.5 (maybe this summer?).
The French relay looks like it will be even better at Worlds.

So much for straight arm recovery. To say you can recover the arm faster in straight arm is a bunch of bull. By bending your elbow you can reduce your arm's polar moment of inertia. The shoulder can accelerate the arm with less torque than straight arm would require.
