I disagree. Freestyle I find is much easier, because you can pause at any 
stroke and just coast and breathe and float. With breaststroke, if you want 
to stop, you have to actually stop swimming. I.e., you have to swim hard 
enough to lift your face from the water with breaststroke.

For the "total immersion", you basically just have to get into a position in 
the water where you're floating properly. You turn your head, and your face 
is out of the water, and you can just glide like that until you stop. You 
roll to the other side while drawing your arm back, and you go forward, and 
coast to a stop with your face out of the water. Very relaxing if that's how 
you want to swim.
