Did a little playing around with this during some easy work in between sprints, it seems to me the best position is a kind of reverse streamline, I found the hands at the side making mini breaststroke pulls was quickest, that may just be because i'm a breaststroker though.
Allen, that sounds painful, but i'm intrigued.
