finger spread on catch

dec 2012 swimming world magazine has picture of champion freestyle swimmer Yannick Angel from underwater during his catch. He has three middle fingers tightly together but little finger splayed out at 30 degrees and thumb significantly abducted. This seems to go against common belief in slightly spread relaxed fingers as the most efficient position. Chris Hiatt

    Swimming at Worlds will be held at the Aquatic Complex at ParcJean-Drapeau, the outdoor complex. Montreal and Quebec City have been on my travel bucket list for years, so, rather than going this year as originally planned, we're putting it off until 2014 for Worlds. :agree: Oh I see, then it'll be this pool here: Freestyle Single Arm Drill (Unleashed) - YouTube
