Are there elite swimmers that have a high head position?

Or even some videos? I thought this used to be taught more vs. the head being straight down. Or is a high head position mutually exclusive from elite swimming?
I can't seem to get any comfort putting my head down so wondered if I could give up and emulate others with more this style.

Inge De Bruijn (in the second closest lane) is looking straight forward.
Looking straight down ay bottom of pool will be documented as being faster everywhere you read. With me I'm just as slow looking down as forward but looking forward towards the wall mistakenly feels faster.
I am curious too, about head position of fast people .
nevertheless, here's the vid of Inge

She is looking forward and kicking ass against the girl looking straight down.
