Hi all.
Do we have to OPEN or CLOSE our fingers when are swimming freestyle, I mean in catch n pull stage?
May I ask why?
Thank you very much.

This subject is nothing new, have as little tension in the hands as possible, don't press the thumb against the index finger, don't cup the hand, don't hold the fingers tight against each other. The university of Wisconcin (I'm a Canadian the spelling may be wrong) ran tests in 1950 with a flat mechanical hand with the fingers in different positons the result it makes no difference,
