no calls were made, and none of them said diddly if/when these allegations occurred.
trying to get some ref insight or literature....

A "stiff arm" is a push. The "swim" stroke is a hold. Sounds like you put your arm up to hold them back. Reads like a foul to me, but I can't see exactly what you did; unless you made Sports Center's Rec League Play of the Day.
As for their groaning, ignore it. If the ref doesn't see it or call it, it's not a foul in rec games; at least until he sees it and calls it the next time. Don't be surprised if it gets called, and don't b!tch when he misses some other calls.
Good luck.
