Plowing through the water

Anyone ever feel like they are plowing through the water on freestyle, instead of swimming on top of it? I know that we can't actually swim fast enough to "swim on top" of the water, but I feel like I am swimming underwater most of the time. It's a frustrating feeling.

    I have been wondering if my head position might have something to do with it. I was reading an article by glenn mills that I think might help me. He talked about finding the "right head position" for each individual. I have tried swimming with a neutral head but I don't seem to get any levearge on my stroke. Last night, I raised my head position about about 30 degrees or so. That allowed me to get a better catch and I stopped fishtaling. So, I think part of my problem has been swimming with my head toooooo deep.
