In my earlier years I used to swim competitively, both for distance (longest, three miles non-stop - no, I didn't pee in the water!) and for speed. I used to swim underwater as much as possible because there was less drag so I could swim faster.
Ahem, no way could I do it now - sic transit gloria mundi :(
