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.

The itch to swim breaststroke in a free heat usually occurs in swimmers who have trained/are training for the 200 *** when they discover that the meet does not offer 200 ***, only 200 free. :( Likewise for back and fly swimmers.
