Stupid Question:
Why is it more difficult to do dolphin kick on your stomach underwater than on your back underwater?
It seems that I can kick easier, faster and longer on my back than I can on my stomach.
Is this a matter of biomechanics or am I just a loser who can't do fly kick very well on his stomach underwater?

I'm going to drag up this old thread because everyone seems quite interested in SDKs at the moment -- except Warren. Dave can register his "no post" objection too.
I seem to have an opposite experience of most people here. If I do timed 25 or 50s SDK-ing, I'm faster on my belly face down. And it's easier to hold my breath. Due to flexibility? I have to come up sooner when I SDK on my back. Although when I'm kicking on the surface, I'm faster dolphin kicking on my back. I try not to have to much amplitude. Others?
