dogpaddles
Flails through water
Dogpaddles is the third-person singular form of dogpaddle, a basic swimming stroke where the arms paddle beneath the surface while the legs kick, mimicking how a dog swims.
It's the instinctive stroke of inexperienced swimmers: She dogpaddles around the shallow end.
The term can describe any clumsy or inefficient swimming motion.
