I first learn to swim with my father at the mobile home park pool as a 7 year old. Then I took lessions in the summer time at the community pool in our area thru Red Cross. I went to a swim school to learn butterfly.
Trudgeon crawl is basically freestyle with a scizzor kick. The kick is timed with the breath. It kind of has a "herky jerky" rhythm but there is alot of power in the scizzor kick (which is one reason why it was used in lifesaving for so long).
Next time you're at a pool for lap swimming check out the senior swimmers. I bet you'll find someone doing trudgeon crawl.
