I tried doing the breaststroke on my back yesterday - we used to do this when I was little and called it the back stroke, even though it isn't really THE back stroke. I noticed right away that it worked my inner thighs and my abs. I did 100 yards of it and realized I wouldn't be able to move today if I continued.
Just wondering if others have tried this. I really need ab work and plan to include a few hundred yards of this with my regular workouts. I've just been swimming since October but things are going well.

So if there's "no sqeezing the legs at any time" doesn't that mean you're not very streamlined during the glide? I don't quite get that part. Can you elaborate on leg position after the kick/ankle snap? Thanks.
