In swimming, elite swimmers are about 300% more efficient. This means that instead of 97% of their energy going to fight water resistance - 93% of their energy goes to combat water resistance, leaving 7% for forward motion. The average swimmer is lucky to get 2% to 3% of their energy to forward motion.
No wonder why most average athletes who do not know how to swim efficiently are winded. They just literally ran through a 25m wall of water.
To beat the odds, learn to swim like a fish.
