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?
My daughters private coach teaches shoulder width apart, using the shoulders to rotate the arms over so that entry is ready to skull out with palms out somewhat. Does that even make sense? no wonder I don't coach, geez. I know how to show it, can't describe it, and every once in a while I can even do it right and feel it!
