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.

So, the head must break the surface by the 15m mark and some part of the body must break the surface throughout the rest of the race. It still seems to me that completely submerging, as in breaststroke, is not legal. No?
