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?

Not the thumb tip and fingertip touching, but the thumb held alongside the pointer finger in a flat position. I think the idea is that a flat "paddle" shape of the hand (whether fingers held together or slightly apart) is better than a cup shape.
You explained the point perfectly.
Thanks
