My arms were close to my body.

Dips http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Triceps/WtTriDip.html. The more forward lean you have the more it'll also hit chest. You can also reverse position and do them. It'd probably help to start by sitting at the edge of the pool, then lowering yourself in and back out. Those are like bench dips.

I'll have to remember to add that to my routine when I start swimming again (hopefully soon).

I would add weights to my dips, but it's been a few years since that has been possible. The gym where I work out has a machine that simulates this pretty well, but it is primarily intended to assist you on the upward motion.

Yes, bar dip. With the lean Pam mentions, it can add some good definition to the chest.

Ah, yes, that's the bar dip cheat.
One question- is this a gunite pool, or is there smooth, slick tile where you're "training"?

I'm not sure what you mean.

It helps to have a well endowed bikini wearer to assist.
