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

Here's an interesting tidbit. If the body of a swimmer doubles the depth (sinks) as they swim, it would take eight times the power or effort to maintain their speed (peak). So when you body sinks (even a little bit) and as you increase your speed, frontal resistance is killing your speed.
