Best Answer

If they swim on their front then everything is submersed except for the bushy tail, leaving them susceptible to attack from winged prayed such as the the flying mantis or kestrels/eagles/owls etc. swimming a on their back allows them to use their now submerged tail as a handy steering device like what a boat has
