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).

    swimming helps swimming, cycling helps cycling, running helps running........ Small increases in muscle density in the lower body, especially for men, increase drag which in turn significantly push up the energy cost of swimming. Your time would be better spent working on stroke technique than ride a bike for swimming.
