I noticed that Natalie Coughlin kicks underwater dolphin kick on her side for the 100m fly SCM recently. I have always felt it was easier to kick on your side or kick on your back. Why it is easier than face down, I don't know. Perhaps it is physics...... perhaps it's just my own inability. I didn't know it was legal to kick all the way on your side on fly.
This sport has changed too much. There's too much "cheatin" going on now. I can't handle it..... :-)

My dolphin kick still doesn't work :drown: , but I can think of a reason for the difference (in my case, maybe yours too?). On my stomach or back, I sometimes bend at the waist and not notice it (not very streamlined). On my side, since the balance is different, I do notice if I'm jackknifing.
