When I'm doing it, the water is at the edge of my goggles. I didn't add this before but I also have one arm fully extended "above" me... that is, in the water in front of me. The idea of "lengthening the vessel" and reduing drag seems to work and this is part of it. I generally switch arms each length but change it up.

I also roll to my sides, back to face down and every angle in between at times so the whole thing seems very comfortable
