One may perform dolphin kicks in horizontal or vertical orientations. Which is faster: the horizontal or vertical dolphin kick, and why? I'm interested in both swimming without fins and swimming with fins (mostly bi-fins but I am curious about mono-fins too).

Vertical dolphin kicks:
The swimmer orientation isn't the same on the two images above: one is parallel to the water surface, the other one is perpendicular.
