Thanks mark,I dont know how it swims yet. all the water here in ohio is solid! i just finished molding and making a pop mold 4 days ago. no reinforcement in the legs. i did think of that because were the legs meet the body it is fairly thin. i did not want to make it to thick because it would more than likely kill the swimming action. this is the first soft pastic frog i have made. had fun doing it! can't wait to get out and see how it swims.
