during swimming? Completely underwater, or half underwater (water surface)?

I would think it's where each swimmer is the widest
probably in the hips, shoulders, or abdomen
Hmmm, what I meant is, when your body is completely underwater, or when the upper part is outside the water?
I seem to have read different opinions but can't remember where. Some say the greatest resistance is on the water surface. However, if the air has less resistance, shouldn't half air and half water be less resistant than completely underwater? :confused:
