Hi everyone,
I am French man 51 years old and I present you a new underwater stroke named "Atlantis" to swim like and with the Dolphins. This is not a "Dolphin Kick" stroke, because arms are propulsive in the body undulation.
Dolphin Kick is more speed than Atlantis after the starting push, but without this push, Atlantis stroke is more speed.
For example, if you swim a 25m underwater in Olympic swimming pool without push on the wall, Atlantis is the fastest. You can do the test to verify that.
You can see the videos
50m Atlantis in 25m swimming pool (not 25 yards) in 26.80 without training at 30 years old and my size is only 1.70m.
My best time in Olympic pool is 25.21 with Atlantis stroke and 27.30 with front crawl. 20m Dolphin kick for start added to 30m Atlantis for finish in the 50m underwater will permit to swim under 20 seconds.

100m in 1.04.50 but a already swam under 1'00.

Yes I know, this is not a classic swimming surface, but you can use in your training for a better hypoxia capacity. A kind of butterfly underwater.

Thanks for your answers and your interest.
...Do you think it is faster to have your arms on your sides like that? I am not exactly sure what propulsion your arms are adding...
For me YES, but I don't know if this is a generality for everyone. Resent test for me at 51 years hold for 25m start into the water with time approximately:
Dolphin kick 17.50
Atlantis 15.00
I am not exactly sure what propulsion your arms are adding. Perhaps a bit of sculling with the hands? I wonder if this is sufficient to overcome the additional drag and the diminished hull length?
You are right for the swimmers like below, but Atlantis stroke is different.

You should try to talk some world champions into trying this to test the limits of your concept.
Good idea. Do you have a name ?
You can also test by yourself.
