Current Swimmer indicates the proper head position is 'low' in the water, more or less the oncoming water seeing the top of your head.
On the other hand, many tell me to have the water line break the forehead, thus a higher head position than shown as 'right' in Swimmer (page 25).
Advice to look to the bottom of the pool rather than forward plays into this matter.
Any consensus here?
for pool swimming:
your head should be neutral
some swimmers hold their heads up too high which can cause their hips & legs to sink too low
for open water swimming:
keep your head neutral & pop it up now and then for
buoy sighting, swimming straight, & or drafting
