I was taught to "cup" your hands for the freestyle stroke. Someone in the pool mentioned the current school of thought is a relaxed hand. What about *** stroke? Thanks, Georgio :bliss:

    It's amazing how hard it is for old habits (or us old swimmers) to die! I just found Boy Scouts of America Swimming Merit Badge Book, 2002, states, "Keep your fingers together, and slightly cupped." I'll recommend they update the statement on the next edition. Thank you all for your valuable contributions. Georgio
