Interesting observations about dolphin kicking competitive swimmers. You would think body orientation during the kick wouldn't be that significant but it certainly feels that way.

There is more full body involvement in the stroke just as in dolphin kicking with fins. Propulsion is reliant upon far more muscles than those connected to the knee. I am still getting used to and tuning the Aqueon myself and as a result am still improving performance. Given our coastal characteristics in SE Florida, deeper water is a ways offshore. Most of my recent time has been nearer to shore. Hope to hook up with a boat this weekend, here or perhaps out of town to take a better look at deeper water performance.
