I recently had a disagreement with another swimmer about proper fly technique. After the recovery, where do the hands enter the water? I was taught they should enter the water a little wider than your shoulders, but he insisted that they should enter the water closer together, more like 6 inches apart. Which is correct? Does it make a difference whether you're swimming sprint fly or distance fly?
Mainly makes a difference how flexible you are or aren't.
6" apart are basically just a little closer than "a little wider than your shoulders".
There is not much difference in the two.
