Key ways to reduce drag are to keep your head down, keep your legs and hands tightly together, suck your belly button towards your spine and push your toes behind you. If this is all completed properly you could possibly shave 1-5 seconds off your time and leave your opponents in your wake. If you combine this with Dolphin Kick (see previous post) you will have one of the best underwater streamlines in the state.
