When swimming freestyle, is it more efficient to pull deep in the water ? It seems that the more of a roll I achieve the deeper the hand /forearm are for pulling. In other words is a deeper pull faster or not?

The way the body works, you can usually get more power by pulling closer to your body. Try this: hold a 10-lb weight straight out at arm's length with one arm. Now pull the weight in and hold it 3 inches from your chest. Which is easier?
