Yes, that's definitely because of the relaxation. Also in dynamic apnea, many bi-finners, especially the slower ones (including some recordmen), swim with hands on the sides in a less hydrodynamic position - that allows a complete relaxation of the upper body and saves oxygen. At higher speeds the drag (growing with a square of speed) prevails, hence a better hydrodynamic position is necessary.
