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..... :-)

I find it easier to kick on my stomach or slightly rotated on myside. I keep working on the kick on my back but it still isn't that good. When I rotate up on my side a bit, the underwater kick starts to get better for backstroke.
