Stretching turns on IMCDA Swim?

According to The Inside Triathlon Tri Guide "Turns on the swim course will be stretched to reduce bottlenecks. Anyone have a clear idea how a swim turn is stretched? Do they mean that the angle will be reduced? Will the triangular course become a circle? I'm a bit lost on what this means.

PS. Spousal swim drafting is wrong?

I'm hoping it means the first 90 degree turn will be farther (i.e., stretched) from the start line than last year. 500 yards was a little tight. By stretching it out the pack should be stretched out too, and hopefully there won't be so much "mooing" going around the buoy.
