Open hand or not

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?

Air would certainly be easier to glide through, but it would be very hard to accelerate in! I still sometimes have dreams where I levitate or swim in the air. Luckily physics doesn't apply to dreams! :)
