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.

Underwater swimming study:
Performance levels over 25 m for two underwater swimming techniques
(carangiform- and anguilliform-like swimming) were compared in 11
national-level, competitive swimmers. Several indicators of propulsive
efficiency were recorded: leg oscillation frequency and amplitude, head
oscillation amplitude and the Strouhal number (St). Video analysis suggested
that head movement amplitude correlates with performance levels in
anguilliform-like swimming (dolphin kicking with the arms alongside the
trunk). However, analysis of St did not lead to the expected results in our
evaluation of carangiform-like swimming (i.e. conventional dolphin kicking,
with the arms stretched out in front).
Although the anguilliform-like technique is not used in competitive
swimming, it turned out to be as effective in our swimmers (despite the lack
of prior practice) as the carangiform-like technique. This paper discusses the
relevance of two techniques inspired by the animal kingdom and which are
vying to become the "fifth stroke".
