NEWTON'S THIRD LAW...

this is my friend, Courtney, swimming 100 breast at some championship a while ago.
in every stroke, as your arms push the water backwards, the water pushes you forward! thus, newton's third law-for every action there is a reaction. in free,back, and fly, the kicking does not exactly follow the same horizontal maneuvers. however, in breaststroke, the "frog" kick follows more of that horizontal action. as you bring your legs from open to close your legs push the water together while the water is pushing on you thus giving you the momentum forward when the kick is finished--your legs are closed.
