OK this sounds like a stupid question but someone at the pool told me that my hand needs to be open with my fingers apart when I swim. i normally cup it which is what I thought was the best way. Today I tried my fingers together and my thumb out a little bit from the hand.
The cupped hand seemed best but what do the experts say?

I also was taught to cup my hands when I swim. For myself, it feels like I am moving better thru the water with my hands slightly cupped. I had seen some swimmers in the trials with their fingers spread apart but not stretched apart, and it seemed to work for them. To each his own I guess.
