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?

Check out any of Colwin's books, there are chapters on fluid dynamics and technique.
The principle to remember is that it is more efficient to move a large mass of water slowly, than to move a small mass of water quickly.
