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

    Cutting down resistance. I have been experimenting with my breakout from a dive or turn on freestyle. The first stroke being a two arm butterfly stroke. Then leaving the one arm at my side to get back into regular crawl. I have noticed a 0.5 time improvement in my times per length. Now maybe this is because I am overweight. It makes me pop out of the water like I used to in the old days when I did my deep dive. After I pop out I seem to have a better body position for swimming. Two things Matt Mann told me in 1952. He said "You must learn to swim down hill, and when you dive in or when you exit a turn you must pop up out of the water."
