The frog kick is not executed while
the arms are doing their work. Dur
ing this period the legs are extended
fully to the rear, but they are not
held rigid. They are relaxed. As
the arms are brought in from the
end of their sweep, the legs are bent
outward at the knees, the heels
close together and drawn up toward
the crotch. They are flung wide and
