One of 2 great points on this thread.
No matter the focus and fancy description of arm/hand/wrist and even finger (really?) as stated, none of that matters when your arm is operating outside of ones functional plane dictated by the scapulas.
(the other great point is a releasing/stretching of pec minor... a major contributor to both awful posture and limited mobility as it relates to scapular angles)
Id be interested in the response to your post. Will keep an eye on it.
Basically when you watch (lionel) or others swim, picture their skeleton ... imagine the movement through the bones. Swimming is about the bones. If those bones are not aligned and functional, then having your thumb next to your pointer finger then moving it after a slight twist to your wrist in the middle of a breath movement doesn't mean shit.
