Out of curiousity, do they make you guys do a somersault after your head gets underwater, and then start your 50 or is it just a straight shot?

Open water or the pool ? If it's in the pool, just wait till you get in the open water off the coast and have to do the same with a mask, snorkel and if your lucky fins. 
Use the speed stroke but keep your head near the water. LOL.

My class proctor wasnt given permission to take us out to the open ocean, all we did was a mile long bay swim in coronado, that was pretty hard so I can imagine open water off the coast at night in a terrible sea state. We have to keep our snorkel in our mouths when we do underwaters. I actually got screamed at and threatend today for spitting it out after an underwater sprintjust wait till you get in the open water off the coast and have to do the same with a mask, snorkel and if your lucky fins.
I could tell a story about my ex-wife spitting out a snorkle while we were on our honeymoon in Key West, .......but I won't go there.....
BLUF - keep the flippin' snorkle in your mouth!
