Chardin,
I'll look for the refrence, besides reading it, I also saw it on
the Discovery Channel's "Miracle Planet".
While my computer chugs:
1. Nose is downward to prevent water getting in
2. Hair folicles all point down to reduce resistence
3. Fat content to improve boyancy
4. Wide hands as improved "paddles"
Here is a good page for RNA and DNA stuff:

When I find the written adaptations to swimming, I'll pass that along
too.
