What short sleeved Tri suit top do you own? Do you mean a bike jersey? I for one wouldn't want to swim in anything with sleeves.
But basically the top of your arm must be in plain view, ie the number must be in plain view. For the same reason the rules also state you can't wear anything that covers your calves, so no compression gear.
Is that actually the reason, though? The numbers? Because if it were wetsuit legal, all the numbers would be covered up for the swim anyway, and later on you're totally allowed to put on calf sleeves, armwarmers, whatever. |
