Er...an anomaly. Sorry, the stomach got excited and took over the fingers for a second.
Swimmers, I need your help. I always knew I had a poor kick, but I never quite realized just how bad it was until yesterday. Or, at least, I think so.
Here's the test to try for me:
25m with a kickboard. Not "all-out" gasping for air at the end, but a nice solid effort.
25m of one-arm swimming. NO KICK AT ALL.
I clock in around 40 seconds for the kick, and 30 seconds for the one-arm swimming. My mind says this can't be normal, but I need a better sample size. Give it a try, and let me know which is faster for you!

Speaking from the side of my ass (i haven't actually timed myself), but it seems to me that your times make sense.
I am faster and smoother with one arm than I am with both legs.
I am always gassed after kicks but I feel fluid with one arms (if slightly stupid).
Of course, I am not a swimmer, so not sure this should count in you official sample.
I'm faster with one arm too. I'm having to do a lot of kicking and one-arm drills to work on my swimming. I actually LIKE the one-arm swimming!
