Follow oar and swim (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

dog paddle

'swim' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'follow oar' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (I've seen this before).
'oar' becomes 'paddle' (paddle is a kind of oar).
'dog'+'paddle'='DOG PADDLE'

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for dog paddle that I've seen is " Simple swimming stroke of canine origin".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
