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.

Who would want to swim breaststroke in a freestyle race anyway? (Unless you needed some seed time for a 200 br, or 400/500 or (gasp) 1500 ...) I can't imagine breaststroke holding an advantage over free. I'd be willing to bet that any good breaststroker would be even faster at freestyle.
