Did you ever see Denis Pankratov do his underwater? Back in the day he was truly unbelievable!! It's too bad there are limits on the underwater portion, the cameras they have on the pools now are really great at capturing the underwaters and I don't think much would be lost unless you're not able to watch it on screen. But on freestyle there are no limits on anything except pushing off the bottom, so if you wanted to chance it I wonder if someone could try and win the 50 fr with a fish kick?

In freestyle some part of the swimmer must still break the surface by the 15m mark. Otherwise, people would probably go farther for shorter distance events (50 and 100).
