Does cycling help swimming?

Does the way the muscles are used in cycling help with swimming? I feel it does. When pedaling the bike it makes me think of kicking in freestyle, especially 2 beat kicks (of course I don't mean I kick the way I pedal a bike).

    I haven't noticed a direct correlation. In fact, I was concerned about the opposite. I've been riding hard on weekends, swimming during the week. I don't see any benefit. And as my thighs get bigger, I'm going to have to work to keep my hips up.
