My recent wrist injury led me to think about this. During the freestyle and backstroke pull phase, how much should you bend the wrist of the pulling hand? Is it the less the better? How about not bent at all? Bending too much either way apparently invites injury as in my case.

Thanks for the feedback, Paul. Any swim toys (or tools; however you choose to view it) you DO recommend? :)
Front mount snorkel. Great for working the lungs on long freestyle sets, kick sets and when doing drills. I like it for drills, when first learning one, because I don't have to think about timing in the breath. As I become more familiar with the drill, I won't use the snorkel, so I can work on breathing as well.
Plus, I use it on almost all freestyle sets that are over 300 m. I hate long boring sets, figure I might as well kill my lungs while being bored to death.
