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

Hey, I know that wasn't the point of your post, but I really liked the video content. I do a lot of the one arm drill myself, my favorite drill.
Thank you so much. The goal was to reposition this drill a bit, as it's too often documented in a way that's restrictive for no solid reason (e.g. breathing always done on opposite side, etc). Well, at least it's my take. This is just one of numerous drills that will get documented in this manner. DVD (the Volume 1) should be ready by March 31th. At least 12 drills should be documented, along with other goodies such as quick pool side dryland program, stuff you can do home to improve your swimming. Volume 2 (already scheduled for 2014) will have many more drills coming from various sources (whereas Volume 1 mainly features SwimSmooth friendly drills).
