How Can I Make My Body Dolphin Better?

Just my :2cents: I found that I get a better feel for what the whole dolphin motion is about when I do it with my arms by my side, a la "Man from Atlantis". I actually go faster, farther with less effort, than with with the arms extended to the front (upper arms over ears, so to speak). 3strokes, I like the method you describe: my rhythm is better and I am faster, too. However, I never practice this way because it would just be impractical for the breakout stroke. Or are there other advantages that I don't know about? Syd
