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?
Next time you are in a car, open your window (while driving, lol) stick you hand out with a cuped shape, as some would use during swimming. Then spread your fingers apart just a little, you will notice that you catch a great deal more air and your hand will be knocked back. This is a experiment I make my swimmers try. I feel the fingers open method works very well. Many big name swimmers use this method. Keep an eye out at the games.
