Frontcrawl, Breatstroke and probably the best and hardest Bufferfly!

If I was trying to jazz-up my man-rack I'd also throw in some wide armed push-ups. I know it's not swimming, but I reckon you'd get results in less time than swimming alone.

I know what a push up is, so a wide-arm push is simply stretching my arms out longer than the norm ?

Exactly.

Wider and narrower than usual push-ups according to this:

i would have thought breast stroke for this, could be wrong.
used know a breaststroker years ago his chest was bloody enormous on which i'm mostly basing this advice :-)
def think the advice on resistance training is good
