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.

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.

What kind of extra safety precautions do these races have to deal with people passing out underwater?
Some links, FYI.

The underwater races are still experimental:
12183
For safety a minimum number of inspiration is imposed between different parts of the underwater course. For example, between door B1 and B2 three inspirations are imposed. Idem between B2 and B3.
From door DE to B1 the swimmer is in apnea to go through the horizontal slalom. But for the vertical slalom, B3 to AR, you have four imposed inspirations.
Several swim judges are in the water and provide security.
