It's not relaxed at all lol.

I love the Race Club. Here’s a link; the second video specifically addresses the streamline position: theraceclub.com/.../ I think it hurts especially in the glide phase of breaststroke. I missed the second video when I read your first post. Just watched it. Looks like Gary Hall believes it is not a natural position, and is not relaxed, (as Evan pointed out) but is critical to swimming fast and efficiently. I need to work on that. I also need to include my hips, I'm not compact when I swim freestyle. Breaststroke seems to be "my best stroke" - always came very naturally for me.

Not to speak for Gary Hall, but Gary Hall would say that a hyper streamline is NOT a relaxed position, takes work, and may even hurt a bit. It is definitely not a relaxed position.
