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.

All I can say:
Do NOT cup the hand.
Do NOT squeeze and force your fingers together.
Do NOT swim with your fingers apart like a frog. You do not have webbed fingers. If you do...that's interesting.
DO keep your hands relaxed.
DO keep your fingers together and straight, but in a comfortable position. Your "paddle" goes from your fingertips to your elbow, so the straighter you an keep all of that, the better.
