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.

She had a very unique style.
High head position though, will result in lower hips ...which creates drag. Not really recommended.
Wow. I need to see more of that. I didn't realize her form was like that.
Since I have a weak kick would that sink my hips further, or is that a chicken and the egg where my weak kick (and maybe body fat) leads to a higher head position?
