Not exclusive to side stroke. It is my default lazy swimming technique for horizontal attitude. I often alternate between frog and scissors, I like scissors because thrust feels stronger thus longer gliding.A scissor kick is the kick you use with sidestroke. I used as a lifeguard when hauling people out of the water.
Lets all read this and agree/calibrate on terminology before it gets overly off topic. At the end of the day, Wikipedia is always right.
