Thumbs Down or Pinky First?

Matt, Your first point is very true. I try to fist-swim at least some laps every other day. It really forces me to think about my arms and shoulders. I use to have a coach in high school who said your hand should surprise the water as it enters. My father uuse to say that the water shouldn't even know you have a hand. Whe he woudl say that, we would act lkie seals and clap our forearms together & bark. He woudl get very mad.
