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?

Doc Counsilman... I first met him at Watertown NY his main swimmer there was George Breen. He asked me if he could take movies of me when I was swimming of course I told him he could.
He was a great coach. In 1956 George Breen set a new worlds record in the heats of the 1500 meters at the Olympics in Melbourne Australia. In the final George swam slower than he did in the heats and the winner of the 1500 was also slower. When I talked to Doc after that race, he told me the reason George B did not win, it was because he did not finish his stroke.
