Does the dolphin kick have any value in OW?

Unless you swim the butterfly, is there any use of doing streamlined dolphin kicks in open water? Has anyone dolphin kicked long distance in OW? :rolleyes: (if anyone dolphin kick crossed the English Channel, they wouldn't be called Channel swimmer but Channel kicker :D)

    I read a blog in which an open water swimmer or triathlete spoke of 'porpoising' at shallow water, or beach, race starts and finishes to gain on fellow competitors... my thought is his strategy would include a butterfly, or dolphin, kick.
