@andrewksheaff: Swimming fast requires that freestylers maintain their alignment at every instant within the stroke cycle. At really high speeds, there are a lot of forces acting on the body, and maintaining can be very difficult to do. Better swimmers find a way to eliminate unnecessary forces, and they better control the ones that are created. They stayed aligned as much as possible at all times.
