Is there any limit to how far you are allowed to swim underwater in freestyle? If not and if it's true that dolphining underwater is faster than anything done on the surface, why don't we see people racing the 50 free underwater? Before the limitation was placed on back and fly, what were the best times achieved by swimming underwater in those events?
Personally I find even long pullouts are torture, I'm just curious.

I don't think it has anything to do with your head going under. Your head could be under but you arm could be over and you'd be legal.
