swimming strokes

[lookTOWARDjesus]

does anyone know any swimming strokes that help develop the pecs

i know there is at least one because my swimming friends (theres like 4 so it cant be genetics) all have well developed pecs and they all say they dont work out

do you know any other exercises you can do at home that develop pecs (i wont have an available gym until november)

i would say treading water would work pecs and rear delts

push ups?

breaststroke

i would say that it doesnt build muscle as much as gives them the stretched out look

swimmers can be very strong, but usually dont have the biggest muscles unless genetic. If you are supplementing into weightlifting for endurane and to stretch the muscles, it will work fine, but if you are trying to gain weight, not happening.
