By them having webbed feet their feet help push the water behind them with out any holes or dents (like toes would make feet have) for the water to escape from. This allows the duck to push a greater force behind them allowing them to swim faster....ever heard of flippers? Notice how they make you go faster? Well, this is the same concept. :) Hope this helps :)
