Total Immersion - Does it work?

Long Boat MythInteresting perspective on the boat length topic Quickest BoatsThis boat is built for acceleration As I understand it,for a swimmers "boat",form drag(the drag from our contact with the water) goes up at roughly the square of speed,whereas wave drag goes up at roughly the cube of speed. Form drag starts as the greater amount so is more important at lower speeds.One can minimize form drag by being as narrow and smooth as possible.One can minimize wave drag by being as long as possible,or eliminating it all together by being underwater(SDK).
