So I've been trying to figure out this early vertical forearm and it occurred to me that your forearm can be vertical in two different planes: sagittal (parallel to the midline) and transverse (parallel to the plane your belt lives in). So, am I supposed to get my forearm vertical in one plane or the other or both?
Thx,

Vertical = hand toward bottom of pool, elbow toward ceiling
A good illustration of what Globuggie has explained (for all four strokes) can be found at
