Last night I went to a coached practice for the first time in a long time, and the coach had me and one other person do backstroke pinkie out/pinkie in instead of thumb out/pinkie in. That was the first time I had ever had a coach tell me to do something like that, and I didn't get a chance to ask the purpose. Do any of you coaches or more experienced swimmers know why a coach might tell a swimmer to do that?

In all honesty, some of the Go Swim drills seem like pointless drudgery. However, their .mov DVD trailer with Aaron Peirsol is a treat. There are some finer points to be learned for example the fluid motion with which he ends each stroke:
