we have developed a drill called Scrunch Scull. In this drill, swimmers are poised in a vertical position, head and shoulders out of the water. Knees are bent and held in front of the chest, with the heels positioned below the hips. The swimmer then performs a breaststroke pull forward, with the elbows held in a high position, not pulling the elbows back. The blades sweep across the knees and extension forward is carried out with high velocity. This drill carries significant aerobic factors as well as specific training for the breaststroke pull.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
Sounds like swimming breaststroke vertically, without the kick. Imagine sitting on your heels on a floor. Now swim breaststroke.
I think that's just about what the drill is. Seems difficult if you have a tendency to sink.
