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).
Correction: I think the reason I felt some connection is not how the muscles are used (they are not used the same way, though maybe a little close in breaststroke, since freestyle uses flutter kicks?), but in relation to the rhythm.
